Two worlds collide in this explosive new take on Shakespeare’s lyrical Twelfth Night. Britain’s Filter Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company pair classical verse with a riotous gig in this radically-cut and fast-paced story of romance, satire and mistaken identity. No two shows are ever the same: decisions on the direction of the performance are made spontaneously as the narrative unfolds, and each unique show develops in a different way. "Rock-and-roll Shakespeare's a blast" (Daily Telegraph)!

Feb 11: Pre-show Talk: "What? You Will?!"
Come early for a pre-show talk with Cary Mazer, Associate Professor of Theatre Arts and English. Mazer teaches Theatre History, Dramaturgy, Shakespeare in Performance, Theatre Criticism and various periods of dramatic literature. His scholarship focuses on Shakespeare production history; the theory, method and pedagogy of performance-centered Shakespeare studies; and Victorian and Edwardian theatre and drama. Mazer is also the author of "Double Shakespeares: Emotional-Realist Acting in Contemporary Performance."
This engagement of Filter Theatre is made possible through the ArtsCONNECT program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Media support for these performances is provided by Philadelphia Weekly.
