In Twelfth Night, love is anything but simple. Duke Orsino pines for Olivia, who falls for Cesario—unaware that “he” is actually Viola in disguise, and Viola secretly loves Orsino. Malvolio dreams of romance and status, and Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Maria stir up mischief and revelry. Full of mistaken identities, unrequited affections, and witty banter, this beloved comedy proves that love often finds us when—and where—we least expect it.

Twelfth Night

Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre

Discover the rarely-performed Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare’s daring tale of love and betrayal amid the chaos of the Trojan War. Troilus, a noble Trojan prince, falls deeply for the bewitching Cressida. Their passionate romance is tested when Cressida is traded to the Greek camp and forced into a relationship with another man. As war rages and loyalties shift, their love unravels. Darkly witty and emotionally charged, this play reveals the tragic cost of power, passion, and survival.

Troilus and Cressida

See How They Run is a classic British farce, packed with mistaken identities, unexpected visitors, and nonstop chaos. Set in a quiet English vicarage during WWII, the play spirals into comedic mayhem as a soldier, a German POW, a Russian spy, and multiple clergymen, converge on the house. Written to boost morale during wartime, this fast-paced comedy delivers delightful confusion and wild fun for audiences of all ages.
