Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare, directed by Paul Mullins. Twelfth Night introduces us to Viola who is shipwrecked physically, and then introduces her to a cast of characters who are shipwrecked emotionally. Stuck in old ideas of love and grief that have grown so stale as to become something else entirely, the world of Illyria is shocked from Winter into Springtime by the passions of young Viola who disguises herself as a man in order to survive. Called by the late Harold Bloom the greatest of all Shakespeares pure comedies, this production will be directed by Paul Mullins, one of SCSs associate artists and the director of The Agitators, Pride and Prejudice, Loves Labours Lost, The 39 Steps, and Hamlet. Twelfth Night features festival veterans Patty Gallagher, Lorenzo Roberts, Paige Lindsey White, and Charles Pasternak, along with an all-star cast of fresh new faces.
