Description

This beautiful, wise play is a rich example of Shakespeare’s unparalleled ability to take audiences to the heart of what it means to be human. Using exquisite poetry, his enduring characters suffer and survive the universal right of passage—falling in deep, helpless, turbulent love. At the end, these folks remain with us more as friends than as enactments. As a theatre critic recently remarked: “(Romantic love) is, in its purest form, life’s richest reward, its deepest purpose. Unfortunately, it may also be fatal.” Well, no one dies in Twelfth Night, although Shakespeare never lets us forget that “youth’s a stuff will not endure.” Life, like Lucy Ricardo’s conveyor belt of chocolates, never stops moving. We have to grab as much of it as we can, while we are able taste it. Join us for wine, food, love and songs, as we journey to Illyria this November.
