This is a modern rock-musical based on the classic TWELFTH NIGHT. Orson is the manager of the pop band Apocalypse, which has been reduced to a trio, as the fourth band member has been summoned to the army. The two twins, Viola and Sebastian have previously performed together, before they suffered shipwreck, dressed the same way and have therefore often been mistaken. Therefore Orson is convinced only to have hired male musicians for the band. Additionally in this play, Olivia manages a discotheque. Throughout the play there is a running commentary by, among others, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Queen Elisabeth I, the Pope, Shakespeare and Buddha while each their image is projected on the back stage wall. So all together it is a hilarious and youthful musical.
