The Celebrated Musical Adaptation!

A tale full of classic Shakespearean themes, including gender-bending disguises, love both fierce and unrequited, a gaggle of servants set on outwitting their bosses, and plenty of quintessential quotes, Twelfth Night is a perennial delight. Don't miss this vibrantly musical adaptation from Shaina Taub and Kwame Kwei-Armah, with direction from Dee Dee Stephens, as it rolls into A.C.T's Strand Theater this summer!

What Is The Story?

Twelfth Night is the delightfully spirited tale of Viola, a shipwrecked orphan who takes matters into her own hands when stranded on the shores of an ancient isle. Populated by a lovelorn Duke, a mourning (yet single) Lady, and enough carousing servants to fill Downton Abbey, Viola must assume the disguise of a man just to find her way. And when that disguise lands her in a love triangle, she's no choice but to hold on as the hijinks flow. Love, laughter, and delight shine in all corners of the Bard's mad-cap masterpiece.
