Synopsis: One of Shakespeare’s most celebrated comedies, Twelfth Night features Viola’s cross-dressing misadventures as she tries to figure out love and survival in a world of lovesick men. Hilarious reversals and bittersweet misunderstandings ensue, as Viola introduces her ambiguous identity to the misfit oddballs of Illyria – and steals more than one heart in the process. Join us for an evening of buoyant wordplay, raucous slapstick and some of the wittiest love scenes in all of Shakespeare.
