Twelfth Night... with a twist!

If music be the food of love... DRINK!

Eccentric Bear Theater Co. is proud to present the first play in its Shakespeare… with a twist! series: TWELFTH NIGHT!

After a shipwreck leaves Viola stranded on unfamiliar shores, she disguises herself as a man and becomes the servant to a lovesick Duke. What happens next is the timeless story of a girl dressed as a boy who falls in love with a boy who loves a girl who loves the girl dressed as a boy. Make sense? Hailed as one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies, Twelfth Night is a tale of music, drunken revelry, and the kind of love that turns us all into fools.
