Directing/producing duo Helen Schofield and Amy Dallas on their vision for the Forth Act's production of Twelfth Night, why Saughton Park is a perfect venue, why it's set in 1967, and why is Shakespeare's work still so relevant.

It's often said (by some) that Shakespeare is archaic and not relevant to today's world, at the Forth Act we couldn't disagree more. The stories in his plays have enduring themes, and so much of his language is still in regular use. Here's Rob Bryden with examples.
