Twelfth Night: Opening Show
Director Fran Gebhard invites audiences to witness this fresh take on Shakespeare’s timeless comedy, Twelfth Night.
Shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother Sebastian, Viola disguises herself as a young man to serve Duke Orsino. What follows is a whirlwind of romantic entanglements, mischievous pranks, mistaken identity and hilarious misunderstandings.
Gebhard’s vision transports the audience to a future era, post-climate change, where traditional gender roles blur. Amidst wit, humour, and poetic language, the play explores love’s transformative power and the delightful chaos of reality and illusion.
Tickets are $30 and can be purchased in person the day of the show.
- Where: Phoenix Theatre, UVic, 3800 Finnerty Road
- When: Thursday, March 13th at 8 p.m.
