Synopsis/Style:
Anytime you hear Shakespeare comedy youre guaranteed at least one marriage and quite likely a case of mistaken identity. Twelfth Night is no exception, featuring twins, separated and feared dead by each other after a shipwreck. The sister takes on a male persona to survive, thus allowing for the mistaken identity, and comedic antics ensue. The primary quartet of lovers wind their complicated way to their happy endings; the lower nobility and servants play cruel, even violent, tricks on one another; and Feste the Fool plies her art in the thick of it all.

The metatheatrical approach we take is well suited to the intimate space of the Overtimes Gregg Barrios Theater: without a lot of physical spectacle, we allow for the language which is Shakespeares original - and the performances to remain the focus. As in Shakespeares day, you come not just to watch but to hear the play, which is also true of the songs of Twelfth Night. Local musician Jack Bonner has written and produced original music to Shakespeares lyrics and they will be performed live by our Feste, Meaghan Setterbo.
