Twelfth Night tells the adventurous story of two twins, Sebastian and his sister Viola, who are separated in a shipwreck.
Viola is saved by the ships captain, but thinking her brother has drowned at sea, disguises herself as a young man, Cesario,
in order to gain employment as a page for Duke Orsino. The Duke is a hopeless romantic in love with Lady Olivia who is in
mourning for her dead brother and refuses the Duke's advances. Meanwhile Viola, disguised as Cesario, falls in love with the
Duke, who is in love with Lady Olivia. Confused yet? Well, just wait until Lady Olivia falls in love with "Cesario" and let
the fun and craziness begin! Add into the mix the silly Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek and you have the makings of
one of Shakespeare's funniest comedies! Plus, what would Shakespeare at RTAA be without a crazy setting? Michelle Raskey and
Madelyne Wright have chosen the wild west (didn't you know they were frequented by ship wrecks?). This show is going to be
so much fun!!
Directed by Michelle Raskey, this is a show you don't want to miss!
