One of the most popular and enduring of Shakespeare's comedies, Twelfth Night invites the audience to Illyria. In this production, a Mediterranean resort where the usual elements of Shakespearean comedy appear: twins, mistaken identity, cross-dressing, and music. It also offers a sufficiently evil villain, Malvolio, who earns his comeuppance in the end at the hands of a trio of alcohol-fueled mischief makers. Love arises, falls, and rises again to the tunes of original music and a singing Feste, the clown.
