Tantrum Theater
TWELFTH NIGHT
OR, WHAT YOU WILL
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Shelley Delaney
November 9, 10, 11. 15, 16, 17, 18
Forum Theater, RTV Building
A shipwreck in perilous waters creates a sea of confusion on land in Shakespeare’s freewheeling romcom of loss, longing, mistaken identity, obsession, revenge and madness. Anything can happen in coastal Illyria, where characters leap in heart first: transcending gender, upending propriety, spurning noise ordinances, or… What You Will!
FREE Student Rush Tickets available with a valid Ohio University ID at the venue for each performance if there are tickets remaining.
