Twelfth Night or What You Will

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.
