Twelfth Night
By William Shakespeare
Directed and adapted by David M. Jenkins with original music by Jeremy Douglass
Jan. 17 – Feb. 11, 2024
Jaeb Theater, Straz Center
“If music be the food of love, play on!” Jobsite’s Shakespeare tradition has become an annual centerpiece of the region’s cultural offerings. “No one ‘Rocks the Bard’ as hard, as daring, or as relevant as Jobsite and their players,” according to BroadwayWorld. A five-time finalist for the NEA’s Shakespeare in American Communities Award, Jobsite’s takes on Shakespeare have proven time and again to be exciting, “must-see” experiences.
In this joyous, rollicking comedy with music (composed by our own award-winning wunderkind Jeremy Douglass), a hurricane forces a shipwreck and young Viola believes her twin brother Sebastian drowned. Determined to survive on her own, she takes on a disguise to explore this new, mysterious land. Thus begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love … This treasured comedy brims with wild infatuations, swooning serenades, drunken high-jinks, and beloved characters.
Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy written by William Shakespeare. Its central story revolves around twins Viola and Sebastian who were separated in a shipwreck. Viola (disguised as Cesario) falls in love with Count Orsino, who also happens to be in love with Olivia.
Jobsite, resident theater company of the Straz Center and 6x finalist for the NEA’s prestigious Shakespeare in American Communities Award, brings Shakespeare’s most musical of comedies to the Jaeb Theater. “If music be the food of love, play on!” See photos from their production of Twelfth Night.
