“Twelfth Night” takes the Latimer-Schaeffer Theatre stage Tuesday through Saturday at 8 p.m.
Freely adapted from the beloved Shakespearean tale of mistaken identity, “Twelfth Night” stars Blair Bowers, David Blore and Alison Hoxie. The gender-bending comedy of errors is set this time around on a Caribbean island in 1937.
Director Wolf Sherrill, in his first JMU production, has updated the Bard’s story by eliminating parts that he felt were unnecessary to the overall message of the text.
“You can kind of cut and paste to tell the story that you want to tell,” said Sherrill.
Revisions include newly added material as well as what Sherrill describes as “an element at the beginning of the show that is...something fun.”
The show is approximately two hours long. Tickets for “Twelfth Night” are on sale for $10 to the general public and $8 to JAC Card holders. For ticket information, call (540) 568-7000.
