TWELFTH NIGHT

Presented by ISF’s Shakespearience

The Liberty Theater, Hailey

April 4th, 6:30pm

“Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit”

Shipwreck, disguise, love triangle, mistaken identity, mischievousness, and… yellow stockings? This is the recipe for one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedic romances. Twelfth Night brings to life the story of Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, and his deep love for Olivia. Meanwhile, the shipwrecked Viola, separated from her twin brother Sebastian, disguises herself as a man, takes the name of Cesario, enters Orsino’s service, and is ordered to woo Olivia for him. Ironically, Olivia falls in love with Cesario (who is really Viola disguised) and Cesario (or Viola) falls in love with Orsino. Add to the mix twin sibling confusion when Sebastian surfaces and falls for Olivia! Complicated? Maybe. But then again, so is love.
