What You Will is a tragi-comedy drama shot as if it is a fly-on-the-wall documentary. Or as the Bristol Evening Post put it, A sort of theatrical Spinal Tap that is joyous and anarchic. Co-produced with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Filter Theatre's extraordinary production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is featured live in this backstage road movie. Interviews with Romola Garai and Dominic West are deviously mixed with behind-the-scenes filming, where the actors' off-stage shenanigans reflect their onstage characters and the real and unreal meld into inglorious Technicolor.

An anarchic improvised drama-cum-documentary following the actors in a young theatre company as they try to stage their radical reinvention of 'Twelfth Night'. Treading a fine line between fact and fiction, the narrative revolves around the leading players' attempts to deal with a cast member's colossal self-importance, which threatens to derail not only the show, but the company itself. With the actual performance of 'Twelfth Night' having been shot live and incorporated into the fly-on-the-wall narrative, the rising tensions between the cast and their determination to carry on no matter what, soon begin to mirror the central themes of the play, further blurring the line between reality and fiction.
Shot as a fly-on-the-wall documentary, this tragi-comedy drama featuring interviews from Dominic West and Romola Garai is co-produced with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Follow the cast behind-the-scenes of the stage performance as their off stage antics reflect their onstage characters.
