Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare's more popular plays and has been played many times in loads of different theatres over the last 400 years. It was even played in a POW camp during World War II. The first known performance of it was not in a theatre at all, but in the hall of the Inns of Court, the Law School in London.

It has been played in theatres all over the world from time to time. Its first performance was a private performance for some law students at the Inns of Court (Law School) in London on February 2, 1602. In 2002, the 400th anniversary of the premiere was celebrated by playing the same play in the Middle Temple Hall, the exact same theatre where it was first performed.

What does the play's title Twelfth Night refer to?

Twelfth Night is the eve of the feast of Epiphany, held on January 6, which celebrates the visit of the Three Wise Men to Jesus.The play is not about Twelfth Night, nor is there any suggestion that the action is to take place at that time of year. The only plausible reason I know of why this should be the title of the play is that it has a secondary title, "What You Will." This is a common sort of title, like "As You Like It"--a little too common, as John Marston had already written a play called "What You Will". The speculation runs that "What You Will" was the original title of the play, but to avoid confusion with Marston's play, they instead gave it the hurriedly concocted title "Twelfth Night" because it was to be premiered on the night of January 5. The court often requested plays to be performed there in late December and early January.
