Twelfth Night at Gunston Arts Center

Surf's up in this beachy adaptation of Shakespeare's gender-bending comedy of unrequited love and romantic mischief, Twelfth Night. Taking its cues from '60s-era surf movies, twins Viola and Sebastian are separated after a fierce storm and devastating surfboard accident. They wash ashore in the beautiful but mysterious land of Illyria and are quickly caught up in a maze of mistaken identity and mismatched passions. Viola falls hopelessly in love with Duke Orsino and disguises herself as a man to enter his world. Filled with juicy comedic characters and beloved scoundrels, Twelfth Night features some of Shakespeare's wittiest wordplay. See the timeless romantic comedy in a whole new, groovy light at Arlington's Gunston Arts Center.
