Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT To Be Performed By Garfield Park Shakespeare Company 9/4-9/12

Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT will be presented by Garfield Park Shakespeare Company at the Garfield Park Arts Center beginning September 4 and running through September 12. Performances will take place at 7 pm each evening.

Please join the Garfield Park Shakespeare Company in their final production of the 2009 season. This tale of mistaken identity, misplaced love and missing family is sure to keep audiences on their toes. TWELFTH NIGHT is a play about love, placed in a festive atmosphere in which three couples are brought together happily. It opens with Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, expressing his deep love for the Countess Olivia. Meanwhile, the shipwrecked Viola disguises herself as a man and endeavors to enter the Duke's service. Although she has rejected his suit, the Duke then employs Viola, who takes the name of Cesario, to woo Olivia for him. Ironically, Cesario falls in love with the Duke, and Olivia falls in love with Cesario, who is really Viola disguised.
