“If music be the food of love, play on.”

Shipwrecked and disguised, Viola stumbles into a love triangle that spirals out of control. Add wild parties, forged letters, and yellow stockings, and Twelfth Night becomes Shakespeare's most mischievous comedy of mistaken identity.

Through this class, we will read, study, and discuss this Shakespearean comedy. We will travel to Staunton after four sessions, tentatively Sunday, May 3, to attend the performance of Twelfth Night by the American Shakespeare Center. Tickets to the play cost from $53 to $92, depending on availability and location.
