Shakespeare’s comedy of mistaken identity, practical jokes, and unrequited love, Twelfth Night: Or What You Will, begins when shipwrecked twins Viola and Sebastian arrive independently in Illyria, both thinking the other is drowned.
Viola disguises herself as a boy and finds employment with the Duke who is in love with Olivia. Malvolio is the subject of a cruel joke played on him by Sir Toby Belch — yellow stockings cross-gartered — leading him to believe that Olivia loves him. But Olivia has fallen in love with the disguised Viola, while she is in love with the Duke.
Following an acclaimed production of Thomas Dekker’s THE SHOEMAKER’S HOLIDAY and the World Premiere of THE LAST STARFIGHTER: A NEW MUSICAL, the Storm Theatre closes its season with a production of William Shakespeare’s classic comedy!
