Twelfth Night (Pearl Theatre Company)

Helmed by director J.R. Sullivan, associate artistic director of the Tony Award winning Utah Shakespearian Festival, Twelfth Night explores the isle of Illyria and the passion that runs amok through its cast of colorful lovelorn characters. They love the people they can’t have and ignore the people they can. They love tragic maidens and women in disguise, lute players, and lovelorn dukes. Sometimes they don’t even know which gender their beloved is–and it doesn’t matter. In Shakespeare’s joyful, madcap dance of mistaken identities, cunning plans, and miraculous discoveries, the only real mistake you can make is not to love at all.
