In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, when Viola finds herself shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother Sebastian in the unfamiliar country of Illyria, she dresses in his clothes and calls herself Cesario in order to serve the Count Orsino. Tasked with wooing Lady Olivia on Orsino's behalf, Viola/Cesario plunges into the social, political, and romantic intrigues of Illyria's hoi polloi. By turns hilarious and heartrending, Twelfth Night takes us on an adventure from the depths of grief to the heights of joy, and along the way explores the fluidity of love, gender, identity, and time. Embracing the Elizabethan spirit of audience interaction, physical comedy, and live music, this production will be a theatrical party that feels contemporary, fervent, and fun.
Directed by Kelly Galvin, the cast of multi-racial classically trained actors is Sydney Berk (Sir Andrew), Yansa Fatima (Viola), Che Kabia (Sebastien), Rob Kellogg (Orsino), Mariah Lotz (Feste/Composer), Jordan Mann (Sir Toby), Emily Nedvidek (Malvolio), Uma Paranjpe (Olivia), K Sotakoun (Mariah) and Xião (Antonio).
