Offline Productions presents their modern rendition of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night,' following Viola as she navigates the world of love, mixed identity and individualism.
Keeping with the original spirit of the play, this adaptation transports audiences to an exotic and far-off destination: the Hawaiian beach resort of Illyria. There, audience members enter the hotel empire of the classy and sophisticated Olivia. While the lovelorn Duke Orsino plots to win the heart of the mourning Olivia, an alliance of servants and hangers-on scheme against the high handedness of Olivia's steward, the pompous Malvolio. When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola (who has disguised herself as a young man under the name Cesario) to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet and hilarious chain of events follows. The production includes surfers, wild hotel guests, beach performers and an epic singer…or two.
