Presenting Series
Actors From The London Stage presents Twelfth Night
October 30 - November 1, 2024
Love, deception, ambition, and desire collide in Twelfth Night, Shakespeare's great romantic comedy. Twelfth Night features some of Shakespeare's most famed passages, a delightful blend of mistaken identity, disguises, and love triangles, with its effervescent comic energy carried swiftly by deeper, richer currents of grief, forgiveness, and transformation. Fast, energetic, and gloriously entertaining, Twelfth Night is one of the great playwright's most popular and enduring stories.
Actors From The London Stage, the renowned five-actor touring group that has been managed and operated by Shakespeare at Notre Dame since 2000, brings Twelfth Night back to the touring circuit in fall 2024. With each actor portraying multiple roles, this dynamic, self-directed ensemble brings a fresh and vibrant energy to each new performance.
Shipwrecked on the isle of Illyria, Viola, separated from her twin Sebastian, dresses as a boy and works for the Duke Orsino, with whom she falls in love. Orsino is in love with the Countess Olivia and sends Viola to court her for him, but Olivia falls for Viola instead. Sebastian arrives, causing a flood of mistaken identity, and marries Olivia. Will Viola ultimately be able to be with the one she loves?
What's Halloween without dress-up and treats? For the 10/30 and 10/31 performances, come dressed to impress (or distress!) as a Shakespeare character or whatever strikes your fancy. Better a witty fool than a foolish wit!
