Whidbey Island Center for the Arts Presents TWELFTH NIGHT, 4/8-23
Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, under the leadership of Executive Director Stacie Burgua, is proud to present William Shakespeare's gender-bending, romantic comedy "Twelfth Night" at WICA, 565 Camano Avenue, Langley, WA April 08 - 23, 2011.
Set in the magical Mediterranean kingdom of Illyria, "Twelfth Night" follows Viola, a shipwreck survivor, determined to make her way in her new homeland.
Like many of Shakespeare's comedies, this one centers on mistaken identity. Viola loses contact with her twin brother, Sebastian, whom she believes to be dead. Under the guise of a man named ‘Cesario,' she becomes a page to Duke Orsino who is in love with Countess Olivia. Crazy for love... Both Orsino and Olivia's households have love on the brain.
But who, really, are the objects of desire? After Viola disguises herself and falls in love with Orsino, she becomes entangled in an awkward romantic triangle. Things come unglued, but for almost everyone, Shakespeare's treasured comedy ends happily.
Raucous, romantic, and wildly funny, "Twelfth Night" is a spectacular concoction of cross-dressing and confusion. WICA's superb cast unscramble the confusion, madness and mayhem all the while breathing new life into Shakespeare's most beloved comedy -- "Twelfth Night."
Tickets range in price from $12 to $16, with discounts available for seniors, military, youth and groups, and are available from www.WICAonline.com or 360.221.8268 - 800/638.7631.
