If music be the food of love, play on!

Twins Viola and Sebastian have been separated after shipwrecked off the coast of an unfamiliar land. Viola, disguised as Cesario, falls in love with Orsino, who dotes on Olivia, who falls for Cesario but is idolized by Malvolio. Meanwhile, Sebastian manages to only add to the confusion in his search for his lost sister. In Shakespeare’s beloved tale of mistaken identity and unrequited love, characters traverse the contradictory landscapes of romance, where anything proves possible. This 90-minute adaptation is a great taste of Shakespearean romantic comedy.

Light refreshments and table service are included with your ticket price.
