5. Twelfth Night
Shakespeare’s most reliable crowd-pleaser, Twelfth Night shakes up a charming blizzard of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, gender bendings, and status reversals for the purpose, ironically, of maintaining order. And you thought your household was crazy at the holidays! Duke Orsino pines for Lady Olivia, but she’s too busy mourning for her dead brother. While a randy uncle chases after the maid, a snooty butler scrambles to keep control, and a mystical fool tosses off shrewd bon mots. Into this madness drops a pair of magnetic, identical twins, Viola and Sebastian, who arouse passion wherever they turn, weaving healing magic for all. Shakespeare’s beguiling comedy is an enchanting holiday treat for the whole family.
When: Wed 23rd 2p & 7:30p
Price: Tickets start at $22
Where: Seattle Center House Theater
