Curtain call for Twelfth Night. See it Friday at 8 p.m. and at the matinee on Saturday at 2 p.m.
From Notes by Holly Van Houten
Imagine, if you will, somewhere on the Texas coast, after a hurricane has shipwrecked a pair of twins—Viola and Sebastian. Separated, each believes the other has died at sea and each is consumed with sadness at the loss in a modern day Illyria. That melancholy erupts into side-splitting comedy with mistaken identities, thwarted lovers, villains and buffoons enmeshed in plots and sub-plots.
The Mountain Shakespeare Festival’s version of this well-loved comedy reflects a world where the Lord of Misrule—and laughter— reign supreme.
This is part of the July 24, 2009 online edition of The Mountain Enterprise.
