From world-class theater productions to lively celebrations of arts and music, Stratford Festival Season 2024 is set to captivate visitors and locals alike.
Play by William Shakespeare
“O TIME, THOU MUST UNTANGLE THIS, NOT I. IT IS TOO HARD A KNOT FOR ME T'UNTIE.”
Shipwrecked, disguised, and totally confused!
That's Viola in a nutshell. After a storm throws her off course, she ends up on the groovy island of Illyria. Not wanting to stick out like a sore thumb, she disguises herself as a dude named "Cesario" and becomes Duke Orsino's right-hand man.
Here's where things get messy: Orsino is crushing hard on Countess Olivia, but she's not feeling it. Instead, she falls head over heels for "Cesario" (aka Viola). Meanwhile, Viola is secretly pining for Orsino, who's still hung up on Olivia.
Just when you think it can't get any crazier, Viola's twin brother shows up, adding a whole new layer of confusion to the mix.
This hilarious play is like a Shakespearean soap opera, filled with unrequited love, mistaken identities, and enough drama to keep you on the edge of your seat. Plus, it's got a groovy 1960s twist, making it feel fresh and relevant. So get ready for a wild ride of laughter, romance, and mistaken identities!
