A young woman, Viola, is shipwrecked in a foreign land and separated from her twin brother, dresses as man to enter the service of Orsino, duke of IIlyria. Complication ensue – deceptions, infatuations, misdirected overtures, malevolent pranks, as everyone is drawn into the hilarious confusion.

“This is the fifth year we have been able to bring Shakespeare to the community and it feels less like a play and more like a party,” remarked Raines Carr, artistic director for the production.

Gates open an hour prior to the show and guests can enjoy local food trucks, concessions (bar included), and music from two local North Florida bands: The Willowacks (July 14) and Folk Is People (July 15.) Music will start at 7pm each night.

The production is sponsored in part by Friends of the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, St. Johns Cultural Council, and the Tourist Development Council. The company features professional actors, teaching artists, and students from Apex Theatre Studio located in World Golf Village.
