Smith College Department of Theatre
TWELFTH NIGHT by William Shakespeare
directed by Daniel Elihu Kramer
Viola and her twin brother Sebastian wash ashore in Illyria and are separated. Viola dresses as a boy and goes to the court of Count Orsino, who finds himself deeply attracted to this boy “Cesario.” Sebastian meanwhile finds himself with Antonio, a pirate who wants to buy him presents. Orsino sends Viola to court Olivia on his behalf, but Olivia is more attracted to Viola. And all of that is just the beginning.
All roles are open to all identities.
No previous Shakespeare experience required.
