Shipwrecked by a storm, a set of twins wash ashore not knowing if the other survived. Cross-dressing as a boy servant, Viola stumbles into love with a wealthy Duke. As fate (and Shakespeare) would have it, the Duke pines for another,
sending the “boy servant” to deliver his love letters to the beautiful yet completely uninterested Countess Olivia. Things get messy when everyone (including Olivia) falls for “the boy” and long- lost twin brother Sebastian shows up.
Shakespeare’s gender-tangled tale “Twelfth Night” has it all – romance, unrequited love, suspense and plenty of high court shenanigans. Originally performed by an all-male cast in 1601, SSU’s “Twelfth Night” features a nearly all-female cast of fifteen, directed by Paul Draper with guest artists Peter Crompton and Julia Kwitchoff helping transport the play’s mythical land of Illyria to the 1920’s.
