NC Stage Company FREE Performance of "Twelfth Night"
NC Stage Company is excited to bring you a performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night adapted & Directed by Jason Rojas Music by Dax Dupuy. Experience an engaging production filled with music, laughter, and drama. The show will be about 90 minutes and include a Q&A afterwards.
"Twelfth Night" is a romantic comedy about mistaken identities and love triangles. The story revolves around the shipwrecked twins Viola and Sebastian. Seperated in the shipwreck, stranded on the shore of Illyria, and unsure who to trust, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario and secures work for a local duke named Orsino. The Duke is hopeless in love with Lady Olivia. Olivia, in mourning and unimpressed by Orsino, falls for Cesario instead. Complications arise when Sebastian arrives, further leading to confusion and comedic chaos.
