Twelfth Night
Director Jacquie Crago
At the Cygnet Theatre and Open-Air
The Cygnet Company with guests in a new production of one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies.

Wit changes place with Folly, as Malvolio, Lady Olivia’s puritanical steward, gets ideas above his station, donning ‘yellow stockings, cross-gartered‘ and shipwreck brings handsome twins to shore …
