Twelfth Night – Karaoke Era

Rare Studio Liverpool

Identity, love, chaos and transformation are explored through the lens of young, working-class Scouse artists navigating an unstable world in this immediate and relatable telling. The shipwreck reflects climate crisis and survival through adaptation, while Viola’s gender-swapping speaks to modern identity fluidity. Themes of unrequited love mirror the intensity of teenage relationships, as Shakespeare’s lyrical, musical language flows naturally into an 80s karaoke format, bridging classical text with pop culture. Beneath the high-energy, communal experience, moments of stillness and emotion ground the piece, ensuring its heart, vulnerability and emotional depth remain powerfully intact.
