Ross Valley Players presents William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”
Directed by Jennifer Le Blanc
Performed September 28 – October 21, 2018
Taking place on the mythical, magical island of Illyria, a shipwreck has stranded two survivors here, Sebastian and Viola, brother and sister, although each is unaware of the survival of the other. The sister, Viola, dresses as a man to protect herself in this strange environment, frustrating Duke Orsino who finds himself falling in love. Great comic confusion ensues, but will true love win out? Will siblings be reunited? Not easily. And therein lies our tale.
