<META NAME="keywords" content="Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Malvolio, Leftend Productions" />
Leftend Productions stages a modern, musical, and comedic retelling of a classic romantic comedy.
While Olivia's away boldly pursuing the affections of Cesario, hired by uberlover Orsino, to woo her for him, the rest of the house will playwith Malvolio, the purityrannical chief of staff. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare's zany romantic comedy full of gender malleability, unrequited longing, drunken frivolity, music, mistaken identity, and, oh yeah, love. Intertwining plots juxtapose the danger of overindulging in love with the perils of underestimating its power altogether. Whether you merely love the idea of love or have forsworn it, either confront it head-on or change everything about yourself to feel adequate, this is your heart's tale. No one is safe from love's sticky web, but can anyone ever truly win the object of their desire without some form of disguise? The road to that ever-after is bumpy, painful, scary, and, as Shakespeare proves, hilarious.
