Continuing its 50th anniversary season, Classic Stage Company will present the Fiasco Theater production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, beginning performances November 29 for a limited engagement through January 6, 2018. The official press opening will be December 14.
Directed by Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld, the cast of Twelfth Night will feature Jessie Austrian (Olivia), Noah Brody (Orsino), Tina Chilip (Maria), Paul L. Coffey (Malvolio), Andy Grotelueschen (Sir Toby Belch), Javier Ignacio (Sebastian), David Samuel (Antonio), Ben Steinfeld (Feste), Paco Tolson (Sir Andrew Aguecheek), and Emily Young (Viola). Scenic design is by John Doyle, costume design by Emily Rebholz, and lighting design by Ben Stanton.
Shipwrecked on the island of Illyria, Viola and her twin brother, Sebastian, are separated, each fearing the other lost to the sea. Viola disguises herself as a boy and wades into a complex romantic triangle with Duke Orsino and the Countess Olivia. Fiasco Theater, an ensemble theater company created by graduates of the Brown University/Trinity Rep M.F.A. acting program, brings its signature imaginative style to the popular Shakespearean comedy.
