Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
(Performance at T. Schreiber Studio, Oct, 2008) UPCOMING!
Shipwrecked on a strange shore. Lost your only family, your brother, in the storm. A woman in a man’s world. What would you do? Why, put on your brother’s clothes, cut your hair, fall in love with the local Duke, woo his lady, and win her heart, of course! Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a fun-filled rolic filled with gender-bending, disguises, misunderstandings, and yellow, cross-cut garters. How can you resist?

Eleven years later, her daughter is still missing and she is enraged at God and tempted by unknown spirits.
