Theatre Macon's Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare

Twelfth Night is regarded as one of Shakespeare’s most beloved and structurally perfect comedies. With this new imagining, we are transported to Coronado, California, in the year 1966 where twins are separated during a shipwreck and forced to fend for themselves. The first twin, Viola, falls in love with Orsino, who dotes on Olivia, who falls for Viola but is idolized by Malvolio. Enter Sebastian, who is the spitting image of his twin sister. What ensures is a cross-dressing comedy rife with pain and triumph, humor and madness, transformation and redemption. Infused with popular songs from the 1960s, this classic is sure to meet contemporary standards.
