"I will be strange, stout, in yellow stockings and cross-gartered"

— Malvolio in Twelfth Night

While many are familiar with Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the show’s director and Professor of Theatre Arts at SUU, Richard Bugg, wanted to give it a little flair, setting the story in the Caribbean islands . . . Twelfth Night is a story of twins, Viola and Sebastian, who are separated during a terrible storm that shipwrecks their vessel. Fearing her brother has been lost at sea, Viola dresses as a man and takes on Sebastian’s identity so she may earn a living for herself. A comedy of errors ensues as Viola, dressed as Sebastian, finds herself the unwilling messenger of her master Duke Orsino’s proclamations of love to the widow Olivia. Unfortunately, Viola has fallen in love with Orsino, but must maintain her role as the dutiful manservant. To make matters worse, Olivia takes a fancy to Viola as Sebastian and refuses Orsino’s suit. suu.edu/pva
