Shipwrecked off the coast of Illyria, twin siblings Viola and Sebastian are separated in an enchanting, but potentially dangerous, new land. Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario and comes to work for the lovesick Duke Orsino, whose overtures of love for the Countess Olivia have gone unrequited. The tables turn, however, when Viola falls for the Duke, and Olivia falls for Viola. Meanwhile, Olivia’s house is dead-set on fooling Olivia’s pompous steward, Malvolio, with a nefarious love game of their own.

Set against the backdrop of Barracks Square in Fredericton’s historic Garrison District, in a conventional staging with fixed seating, Twelfth Night (or What You Will), directed by Alex Rioux, is a classic Shakespearian romp with a high-fashion twist! Come see why Twelfth Night is considered by many Shakespeare’s highest achievement in comedy.
