This Week at Backstage Capitol

Work continues at the theatre for 3 performances of Twelfth Night. July 24th-26th. This week the cast of Twelfth Night took to the Stage at the Capitol for rehearsals. Bob Missen who has already brought several successful productions to the theatre has been busy overseeing all aspects of the production and promises it will be a fun evening. Twelfth Night is considered by some to be the last of Shakespeare's "festive" comedies. Wit, music, romance and revelry are the food of love at this comedic feast of lovers and fools. Viola and her twin brother are shipwrecked in the magical land of Illyria, each believing the other drowned. Disguised as a young man, and entering the service of the lovesick Duke Orsino,Viola woos the wistful lady Olivia for her new master and finds herself in a most unusual and hilarious love triangle. Merry deceptions and mistaken identities abound in this lilting comedy until true love finds its way.
