Illyria is lovesick, and community therapist Leslie is determined to explain it using logic and statistics– conducting a scientific study to determine the true nature of love. Her subjects include the incessant Orsino, the hopelessly passionate Malvolio, and plane-crashed twins Sebastian and Viola, whose identical faces and magnetic charisma cause all sorts of confusion. As Leslie’s field studies run parallel to her clients’ explorations of romance, identity, gender-expression, trauma, swing-dancing, and self-love, she’s not the only one who finds herself at a loss for answers. Celebratory, curious and passionately open-hearted, Twelfth Night’s newest musical makeover asks the questions closest to our hearts and, while not answering all of them, leaves us laughing in good company.
Next Weekend!
