Twelfth Night / Gunpowder Plot (The Three Inch Fools), National Tour
May 28, 2022 - Sep 18, 2022

The Three Inch Fools are hitting the road with Shakespeare’s rip-roaring comedy, Twelfth Night, along with a brand new production of The Gunpowder Plot – telling the story of history’s most infamous conspiracy. This highly explosive season delivers uproarious intrigue, endless costume changes, and all manner of mischief-making.
