About Twelfth Night

One of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays, Twelfth Night is timeless in its appeal as both a comedy and morality piece, addressing issue such as truth, fidelity and betrayal; its ‘Happy Ending’ is at best a compromise and throws into stark relief the various stances we all take when faced with emotional problems. Through these devices it speaks to a modern audience as freshly as it did centuries ago, inviting us to view gender and fluidity as part of the human experience and not as a new phenomenon. Presented by a young, talented cast taken according to ability rather than any qualities based on race or gender, this production will aim to be inclusive, open and questioning, while examining the fundamental humor of the human condition, as Shakespeare intended.

This is our first project with the hope of many more to come. Our aim is to create a company in the future that gives opportunities to emerging actors and immigrant/foreign actors who are applying or have an OPT or o1 visa. Our company will provide all the media and recommendations necessary to build a strong application. With all this in mind we wanted to start with a BANG! Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare.
