FOLLOWING the huge sell-out success of the rock musical version of Romeo and Juliet, the C'est Tous Theatre Company took the production on a successful four month tour of Italy.

But now the company is back, and the next local production is Twelfth Night.

Audiences are invited to pack a picnic and enjoy the cruel baiting of Malvolio in Shakespeare's famous "cakes and ale" comedy, which is being performed at Salmesbury Hall, Preston.

"The play is full of fun, friction and festivity," said C'est Tous' David Houston.

"The celebration of the Feast of Fools on the twelfth night of Christmas could not have a more suitable setting than Salmesbury Hall. The production will take place outdoors if the weather is good, and if not, the audience will be invited inside to watch the play in the magnificent Great Hall."

Twelfth Night is at Salmesbury Hall, Preston, on Thursday June 23 at 7.30pm. Directors pre-show talk is at 7pm. To book or for further information contact 01257 453956.
