Twelfth Night
Coming Soon this September!
September 5, 6 at 7:30PM & - 7 at 2PM
September 12, 13 at 7:30PM & 13 at 2PM
Come see this romantic comedy originally written by William Shakespeare that is packed full of hilariously bad puns, unrequited love, and mistaken identity. Abridged and directed by Alexis Canaday, this version has been specially crafted to carry the true humor and meaning of “Twelfth Night” to modern audiences!
Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1601–1602 as a Twelfth Night entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck.
In this comical play, Viola, a twin separated from her brother in a tragic shipwreck, has to make her way in the world by disguising herself as a man. In an amusing twist of fate, she begins to fall in love with the Duke she serves as he pines for Lady Olivia, who in turn accidentally falls in love with the disguised Viola! When her twin brother, presumed to have drowned, shows up, the love triangle becomes even more complicated with absurd and unexpected consequences. In this abridged version of the play, the original Shakespearean language has been tweaked and translated to convey the true humor and meaning behind Shakespeare’s work. Modern audiences can laugh along at what is still an uproarious story. You don’t want to miss this unique production of “Twelfth Night”!
