"Twelfth Night is a celebration of life and love. It’s about getting to the other side of grief, finding ways out of solitude, and making peace with ourselves."
The Wilma boldly reimagines Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy, set on a beach in summertime. Under Co-Artistic Director Yury Urnov’s direction, this classic transforms into a modern tale about gender fluidity, and a single performer plays separated twins Viola and Sebastian as one character. “Viola finds a lost brother in themselves,” says Urnov.
The story also features HotHouse Company members as the colorful characters Olivia, who is mourning her own brother; Malvolio, Olivia’s ambitious steward; and happy-in-his-drinking Sir Toby Belch.
