Production Company: Class 6 Theatre
Playwright: William Shakespeare

Rehearsals Begin: 04/20/2015

Synopsis
Twelfth Night is a classic that runs the gamut of entertainment archetypes: comedy, drama, action, etc. There are many versions of the play available in bookstores and online if you are unfamiliar with it. This production specifically will be a raw, modern staging in a world that blends our world with that of Shakespeare’s. The cast has been honed down to nine characters to keep it intimate and ensemble-based.

Character Breakdown

Orsino (Male): Duke of Illyria obsessed with Olivia
Sebastian (Male): Twin of Viola lost in a strange place and volatile.
Sir Toby Belch (Male): The drunken uncle of Olivia and somehow a knight.
Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Male): A wonderful idiot. Comedic timing is a must.
Malvolio (Male): Olivia’s steward. Uptight and disliked by many, he is tricked into acting the fool.
Antonia/Maria (Female): Doubles as a female pirate and a wry servant to Olivia.
Feste (Female): Court Jester and singer of songs. Must be able to sing; playing any instrument is a bonus.
Olivia (Female): Countess sworn to mourning after her brother’s death.
Viola (Female): A Lady, separated from her twin in a storm; she disguises herself as a man in Orsino’s court.
Sea Captain, Curio, etc… are all doubled within the 9 person cast.
