Twelfth Night
August 2, 2007 at 7:00 p.m


In one of Shakespeare's most lyrical comedies, a twin brother and sister are separated by a disastrous shipwreck and cast ashore in the land of Illyria , each thinking that the other is dead. As they cross paths with scheming servants, a grieving beauty, and a wise fool, the result is a compelling, funny and bittersweet tale of unrequited love, newfound hope, and irrepressible festivity.

Recommended for ages 10 and up.
Approximate running time: 1 hour.

This play is performed by the Next Stage Ensemble. One of the divisions of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Summer Professional Training Program, the Next Stage Ensemble was created to foster the work of early-career actors. Participants take advanced classes in voice and movement, while working on hour-long productions of classic and contemporary plays. These productions bring theatre to a variety of locations throughout the region including libraries, retirement communities, summer camps, and schools. Acting as "ambassadors" of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey during the summer months, the Next Stage Ensemble brings theatre to communities throughout New Jersey.

Call the Library at 908-876-3596 or go to www.wtpl.org under Adult Programs to sign up for this exciting program!
