William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night washes up on the shores of Chatham High School this Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the school’s newly refurbished auditorium. Tickets are $5.00 at the door.
After a shipwreck separates a young woman from her twin brother and strands her in the land of Illyria, she disguises herself as a young man and enters the service of the local Duke, inadvertently setting off a hilarious whirlwind of passion, mistaken identity, and unrequited love.
Directed by Nick Nudler and Madeline Weltchek,Twelfth Night is produced in partnership with Shakespeare & Company’s Fall Festival of Shakespeare. This nine-week artist-in-residency program brings professional directors, actors, and stage technicians to Chatham to work with students on all aspects of the show’s production. Chatham has been a part of this unique theater experience for twenty-seven years, alongside other schools in New York and Massachusetts.
Chatham High School will give a final performance of Twelfth Night on Sunday, November 22, 3:30 p.m. at the Tina Packer Playhouse in Lenox, MA. For tickets and information, visit shakespeare.org or call 413-637-3353.
