Shakespeare's: Twelfth Night
Exit 22, the production company of Capilano University’s Theatre program, is thrilled to bring to its stage, Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. Directed by Dr. Nicholas Harrison, this play is a fresh and exciting take on a popular classic that tells the tale of gender confusion, in which Viola disguises herself as a man to be near the count she adores, only to be pursued by the woman he loves.
Set during the golden age of piracy, Twelfth night has it all- daring feats of swashbuckling, adventures, jests, drunken pirates, lust and lots of rum. Viola comes to shore in Illyria, where Orsinio rules. Under the belief that she has lost her twin brother, Viola goes to Duke Orsinio disguised as a man, only to fall in love with unsuspecting Duke. Orsnio trusts Viola to woo the Countess Olivia, who falls in stead for Viola. Meanwhile, the puritan steward Malvolio is duped into believing that his employer , the Countess, secretly loves him. At the same time, the drunken pirate Sir Toby Belch continues to take advantage of the wealthy, but dim- witted Sir Andrew. Throw in some fights, binding and gagging, a clown impersonating a priest, and three couplings and everyone is eventually spun into confusion and mayhem.
