About the Play:

"Twelfth Night is a tale of unrequited love – hilarious and heartbreaking. Twins are separated in a shipwreck, and forced to fend for themselves in a strange land. The first twin, Viola, falls in love with Orsino, who dotes on OIivia, who falls for Viola but is idolised by Malvolio. Enter Sebastian, who is the spitting image of his twin sister..." (- Royal Shakespeare Company)

​

Characters:
We are looking for performers of all backgrounds and levels of experience. While ages and genders are in the descriptions below, we are more than willing to cast based on ability. Please note, that some of these character might be doubled up upon by the same actor, so one person may be cast in several parts.
