"Sexy, hilarious, and devasting" is how director Teo (Folger Theatre and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company’s Where We Belong) describes this vision for Shakespeare’s comedy that includes romantic entanglements, separated twins, mistaken identities, pranks gone too far, and even a dash of revenge. Set in a brutalist landscape where a garden of love emerges amid the hard concrete, the shipwrecked Viola disguises herself as Cesario, exciting the passions of both Olivia and Orsino and inciting the jealousy of Malvolio. In Shakespeare’s time, boys portrayed women’s roles on stage, and this production of Twelfth Night playfully draws from both original staging practice and contemporary pop culture, fashion, and music—taking cues from Prince, Grace Jones, and Harry Styles—to create a parable about the transformative power of love and community.
