Twelfth Night, or What You Will

Separated in a shipwreck, the twins Viola and Sebastian each think the other has drowned in the storm. Viola, alone in a strange land, dresses as a man to gain employment with the local duke. While this sounds like the start of a tragedy, what follows is a story of love, confusion, dueling, and more, filled with some of Shakespeare’s most memorable and lovable characters. Twelfth Night is not bound to a particular setting, and in its characters and their actions, we can see common ground and familiar stories. From the lovesick duke to the countess’s drunk uncle, from the friendly pirate to the cunning maid, Twelfth Night‘s story and characters are sure to provide an evening of laughter, conflict, and more than a little love.

Directed by Patrick O'Hare ('17). Produced by Elizabeth Margolin ('17).
