EWU Theatre and Modern Theater to co-produce 'Twelfth Night'

Eastern Washington University Theatre Department and Spokane’s Modern Theater invites audiences to a co-production of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”

Directed by Jess Sanders, “Twelfth Night” is about love lost, love found and love turned upside down.

Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy turns desire on its ear when shipwrecked twins Viola and Sebastian roam Illyria stirring up attraction and distraction wherever they go.

Orsino loves Olivia, but she pays him no mind. Olivia loves Viola, whom she’s mistaken for a boy. Viola loves Orsino, and he has no idea she’s a girl.

Toby Belch, Andrew, Feste and Maria love playing pranks on Malvolio who is in love with love (and himself). Strange romance gives way to a miracle in this rollicking comedy of misplaced longing.

Performances are Thursdays Aug. 6 and 13, Fridays Aug. 7 and 14 at 7:30, Saturdays Aug. 8 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays Aug. 9 and 16 at 2 p.m. All performances will be at the Modern Theater, 174 S. Howard St. in Spokane.

Tickets are $24 for an adult and $20 for students, military or seniors.
