Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1601–02 as a Twelfth Night’s entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as a boy) falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man. The play expanded on the musical interludes and riotous disorder expected of the occasion, with plot elements drawn from the short story “Of Apollonius and Silla” by Barnabe Rich, based on a story by Matteo Bandello. The first recorded performance was on 2 February 1602, at Candlemas, the formal end of Christmastide in the year’s calendar.

Performances run weekends from Tuesday January 5, 2016 through Sunday January 31, 2016 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission.

by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy comes to life in a colorful, lush production from Joshua McKerrow, director of the WATCH award-winning Lieutenant of Inishmore.

Improbable circumstances bring together a lively cast of characters in this early English farce. Mistaken identities… long-lost twins… long-lost parents… plus a hearty dose of slapstick comedy and witty wordplay. All set against the panoply of a glorious, exotic world.
