It's Christmas Break, 1988 and The Duke just wants to make the perfect mix-tape for Olivia. That'll win her heart for sure. In Twelve Nights, four actors take on thirteen roles in a freewheeling, 80s music infused adaptation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night by the creator of These Seven Sicknesses, Sean Graney.

Pull Together Productions will present the New York City premiere of Twelve Nights by Sean Graney, directed by Brian Gillespie and playing December 4th through the 14th at Theaterlab, 357 West 36th Street, NYC.

Sean Graney is the Founding Director of the Chicago theater company, The Hypocrites, where he served as the Artistic Director for 14 years. His adaptation of the seven surviving texts of Sophocles, These Seven Sicknesses had a critically acclaimed run at The Flea Theater in New York in 2012. He also recently finished a yearlong fellowship at Harvard University where he completed All Our Tragic, his 12 hour adaptation combining all thirty-two surviving Greek Tragedies. Twelve Nights originally premiered with The Hypocrites in 2013, directed by Mr. Graney.

Brian Gillespie has directed in NYC for Primary Stages, Boomerang, NYMF, Samuel French OOB Fest., Planet Connections Theatre Fest., Ego Actus, AMIOS, Distilled Theatre Co., and Pull Together Productions where he serves as Artistic Director.

The cast features: Amanda Tudor (The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, Roundabout) David Andrew Laws (The Figaro Plays, McCarter Theatre Ctr.)
