ABOUT THE PLAY
Twelfth Night is the funniest, most universal and accessible of Shakespeare’s plays. The play opens with the tragedy of lost siblings and thwarted love, but proceeds into chaos with mistaken identities and misunderstandings with hilarious dramatic results. It is a true ensemble piece with few monologues and requires a high degree of chemistry among the cast. Despite dark moments, the play champions the core message that, in a chaotic and uncertain world, there is love and joy in “present mirth” and “present laughter.”
