Twelfth Night, or What You Will
Complicated love intrigues in a lively and precise staging. Piotr Cieplak emphasizes the musicality of one of Shakespeare's most important comedies.
Viola, miraculously rescued from a ship wrecked off the coast of Illyria, puts on men's clothing and begins serving with Duke Orsino. The prince is plagued by feelings for the grieving Olivia. She, in turn, looks kindly on the new courtier of delicate beauty. . Nothing is as it seems, and life itself lurks behind this game of appearances...
