Clayton Community Theatre presents Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, directed by Heather Sartin, on stage July 11 - 21, 2024.
Written between 1601-1602, the second play in Shakespeare’s Shipwreck Trilogy, “Twelfth Night” remains one of the Bard’s most familiar and best- loved comedies. Sword fights, long lost twins, singing, dancing, and yellow socks all work together to weave a tale of restoration and love. Complete with mistaken identities, misguided romance, misplaced affection and a “mis”terious love letter, this play makes as easy an introduction to Shakespeare’s works as it does an evening with a familiar friend. No matter your level of Shakespearean comfort, audiences will find “Twelfth Night “ to be clever, joyful, and poignant … filled with laugh-out-loud frivolity alongside some of the most beautiful lines of poetry ever penned.
