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 classic comedy is a delightful adventure in the timeless human folly of mistaken identity and misguided hearts. "Twelfth Night" is partially sponsored by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.

By William Shakespeare
