Photo Flash: First Look at Theatre Project and TP&co's TWELFTH NIGHT

The Theatre Project and TP&co launched their Shakespeare Off-Broadway series with a Limited Off-Broadway Engagement of The Bard's classic comedy,Twelfth Night, or What You Will. The new series dedicated to the presentation of vital and imaginative productions of William Shakespeare's work opened with a production of Twelfth Night at the historic Players Theatre in the heart of Greenwich Village on Friday the 13th to sold out performances.

Filled with courtship, comedy and mistaken identity, the Bard's beloved comedy tells the tale of fraternal twins Viola and Sebastian, separated in a strange new land. Having survived a shipwreck and believing her brother Sebastian has been lost, Viola falls hopelessly in love with Duke Orsino and disguises herself as a man so she can be near him. Music, merriment and swashbuckling adventure abound in Twelfth Night! It's a gloriously gender-jumbled romantic tale with the kind of comic confusion that only Shakespeare could create.

In this photo exclusive, we get a first look at the exciting production! Twelfth Night runs exclusively at The Players Theatre (115 Macdougal Street between West 3rd and Minetta Lane), with performances at 7:00PM every Friday and Saturday from February 13 through March 7, 2015.
