Experience the transformative power of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, presented by the Theatre department at Barnard and Columbia. Directed by Alice Reagan, this production brings to life a world that is both familiar and yet turned upside down. In the face of a calcified society, two outsiders arrive and challenge the status quo, shaking the foundations of the world we know. Twelfth Night is a play that speaks to our current times, addressing the challenges we face in the wake of the pandemic and the ongoing political and social battles. It reminds us that while we may be in a constant state of change and uncertainty, there is strength to be found in embracing our grief and loss and weaving them into our daily lives. Shakespeare urges us to confront reality and live authentically, rather than escaping into fantasy. The ensemble of Twelfth Night embodies a ship of fools, with each character displaying their own flaws and quirks. But through the journey of grief, loss, and confusion, the play ultimately leads us towards reunion and wholeness. It reminds us that perfection and happiness in love may not be the ultimate goal, but rather being true to ourselves and embracing our imperfections.
