2. Twelfth Night

In this irresistible romantic comedy, Artistic Director Carmen Khan will transport audiences to Illyria - a topsy turvy place, where everything is turned upside down and nothing is what it seems. Viola loves Orsino, who thinks he loves Olivia. Olivia thinks she loves Cesario who is really Viola, dressed as a man. Malvolio thinks he is a gentleman, but he is not. The foolish and foppish Sir Andrew thinks he is a fine match for the Lady Olivia, but he is far from it. There is disguise and impersonation at every turn; even the language is turned upside down. Nobody really knows who they are or what they want, except Viola.

Our production will be full of the music of love composed by award winning composer Fabian Obispo, who brought us the exquisite music of Pericles, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and most recently, Hamlet and As You Like It.
