Sea-tossed siblings set out for adventure in this laugh-out-loud look at gender, love and longing. One of Shakespeare’s most joyous rom-coms, Twelfth Night is a tangled web of love: Viola is in love with Orsino…who is in love with Olivia…who is in love with Cesario…who is secretly Viola disguised as a man!
Running in repertory, both Twelfth Night and Thrive, Or What You Will will feature the same cast of six actors—Jasmine Eileen Coles*, Annie Fang*, Jihan Haddad*, Marcel Mascaro*, Meg Rodgers*, and Eli Lynn*.
