This classic comedy with a contemporary twist kicks off CLT's year of celebrating 50 years of community theatre in the Comox Valley

Shakespeare with an upgrade, this is a light hearted tale about twins shipwrecked on the fantastical sea coast of Illyria; a never-never land of fantasy and romantic comedy where nothing is as it appears. Juicy with passion the play is about love in its many forms; of a sister for a brother, unrequited love, grief for the loss of love, love of the bottle, love of the one who loves the bottle, self-love, love at first sight and misplaced love. As told by the wise fool, Feste, Count Orsino of Crown Isle is in love with Olivia of the Kingfisher, who is in love with Orsino's servant, who is really a woman...and Olivia's uncle Sir Toby Belch of Cumberland has plans for his friend Andrew to woo Olivia. There is much fun along the way as the plot gets tangled and then untangled. Expect a wonderful set with video projection, original music, and some comic fight scenes, along with Shakespeare's classic wit.
