Twelfth Night

 

Production Sponsor   Timothy R. Schwertfeger and Gail Waller

 

A new audio play with original music and immersive 360° sound. Taking inspiration from the immortal line “If music be the food of love play on!,” Artistic Director Barbara Gaines reimagines Shakespeare’s lyrical romance with all-new songs from composer Joriah Kwamé. Mismatched lovers and a steward decked out in yellow stockings navigate the slippery shores of Illyria in search of their very own happy endings. Separated in a sea storm from her brother Sebastian and washed ashore, Viola adopts a male disguise and enters the service of Duke Orsino—only to find herself in the middle of a complex triangle of unrequited love.
