Twelfth Night at Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre

In this rollicking musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Shaina Taub’s original music and lyrics intertwine with the words of the Bard to explore romantic and familial love, deception and self-discovery, fate and ambition. Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, is sent to court a countess, and falls hard for a duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process. Written by Shaina Taub Conceived by Kwame Kwei-Armah & Shaina Taub Adapted from the play by William Shakespeare Directed by Jessica Bogart Music Direction by Maurice Draughn
