Shakespearience Presents...
Twelfth Night
By William Shakespeare
Recommended for Students in Grades 6 – 12 and all ages!
“Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit”
Bring the whole family and join us for this under an hour performance. Shipwreck, disguise, love triangle, mistaken identity, mischievousness, and… yellow stockings? This is the recipe for one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedic romances. Twelfth Nightbrings to life the story of Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, and his deep love for Olivia. Meanwhile, the shipwrecked Viola, separated from her twin brother Sebastian, disguises herself as a man, takes the name of Cesario, enters Orsino’s service, and is ordered to woo Olivia for him. Ironically, Olivia falls in love with Cesario (who is really Viola disguised) and Cesario (or Viola) falls in love with Orsino. Add to the mix twin sibling confusion when Sebastian surfaces and falls for Olivia! Complicated? Maybe. But then again, so is love.
This performance will be interpreted into American Sign Language by Fran Bennett and Sierra McIver.
