Photo Flash: The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey Presents TWELFTH NIGHT

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey concludes its 2009 season and ushers in the holidays with Shakespeare's popular and exhilarating comedy Twelfth Night.

Twelfth Night begins performances on December 2 and continues through January 3 at the Shakespeare Theatre Main Stage - The F. M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, 36 Madison Avenue at Lancaster Road in Madison. For tickets, call the box office at 973-408-5600, visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org or email boxoffice@shakespearenj.org.

Named after the traditional end of the Christmas season, the romantic and witty Twelfth Night features one of Shakespeare's most famous clowns, Feste, and a fast-paced story filled with love, illusion, music and pranks. Delightfully tart, ravishingly bittersweet and spectacularly frothy, it is a joyous show for the holidays and for family theatre-going. Twelfth Night is the basis for the hit musical Illyria presented by The Shakespeare Theatre in 2004.
