Twelfth Night has long been regarded as Shakespeare’s greatest comic achievement. Rich comic characters, mistaken identity, and the search for true love are sure to captivate. Shakespeare’s most memorable songs are set to original folk music and sung live by the cast! Comic impersonations, misunderstandings, and deceptions taking place in the world of Illyria are all brought to life in this story of shipwrecked twins.
