Twelfth Night – Bard in the Botanics
Bard in the Botanics remains one of the most prominent Shakespeare-forward festivals in Scotland having performed 25 Summers in the beautiful Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
Their well-established reputation and years of experience are clear as they present us with a schedule of both Shakespearean works and more contemporary classics such as Jane Austen’s Emma.
Using the gardens to their advantage, there is both an open-air main stage, and a separate performance space within the Kibble Palace glasshouse.
This time around I saw Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at the main stage, directed by Jennifer Dick and it's safe to say I would happily rush back to see it again.
This season of Bard in the Botanics is titled Lovers & Madmen and really is there a difference? Of course...
