Award-winning Northwestern faculty member Mary Poole directs this new production of Shakespeare's romantic comedy Twelfth Night at the Ethel M. Barber Theater. "Twelfth Night" was the name of a festive occasion that closed out the Christmas season in Shakespearian times. Therefore, the title of the play indicates an entertainment appropriate to a night of festivity, song and lots of drinking. Filled with Shakespeare's most indelible comedic characters and side-splitting situations, prepare to laugh out loud at this comic tale of wild infatuation and mistaken identities in the strange land of Illyria.

How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes: An Interactive Dialogue

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

This unique participatory performance experience is actually titled How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes (with 199 people you may or may not know), and it gives you and your fellow audience members the opportunity to agree how to spend $1,000 in an effort to attack the issue. For 90 minutes, you'll listen, discuss and decide what the cash -- derived from ticket sales and sitting right there on stage -- should be used for. Conceived and directed by Michael Rohd, a Northwestern assistant professor whose research focuses on civic engagement, this "often delightful and occasionally uncomfortable" play-workshop-conversation is an intriguing experiment in social decision-making and responsibility.

Design, acting was all great, but they spoke too quickly! Or maybe I'm just old and can't listen as fast as college students. Quite enjoyable.

Feste was beautifully portrayed by Frankie DiCiaccio. Every body movement was perfect. The guy in the bloomers (so sorry that I can't remember the name) was also exceptional. Orisino was a disappointment. Duh, bewilderment.

Description

After being shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, aristocratic-born Viola assumes her twin brother is dead and takes on the identity of a young male page named Cesario in an attempt to gain work in an unfamiliar land. Her compromised identity puts her at the center of a complicated love triangle that is hilarious and melancholy, and always entertaining. Under the direction of award-winning Northwestern faculty member Mary Poole, Shakespeare’s dark comedy is a delightful adventure in the timeless human folly of mistaken identity and misguided hearts.
