Twelfth Night: or What You Will is
Shakespeare’s comic masterpiece of unexpected love and
mistaken identity. Filled with Shakespeare's most indelible
comedic characters and side-splitting situations, our inaugural
season bursts into high gear with this most magical of
comedies.
Twelfth Night begins with a delightful
tale of wild infatuation and mistaken identities. Shipwrecked
on the rocky coast of Illyria, the beautiful and plucky
Viola disguises herself as a man to protect her honor in
this strange land, and finds employment as a page in the
court of the lovesick Duke Orsino. But just as Viola falls
in love with her new boss, the beautiful Olivia - whom
Orsino is pursuing - finds herself attracted to this new
young man, who's really Viola in disguise. Meanwhile, the
servant Maria and the drunken Sir Toby Belch conspire to
enact a riotous revenge on the hilariously presumptuous
servant Malvolio. All ends happily for those involved
(except the puritanical Malvolio) with reconcilation and
reunion, love and marriage.
