The Tufts University Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies presents the first of six performances of “Twelfth Night – A Musical Adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.”

Named one of the best theatrical productions of 2018 by Time, The Hollywood Reporter and The Washington Post, “Twelfth Night” is a rousing contemporary musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy about mistaken identity and self-discovery. It tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, is sent to court a countess and falls hard for a Duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process.

Tickets for this preview performance are $5 through the Tufts online box office. Additional performances will be at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 1; Saturday, March 2; Friday, March 8; and Saturday, March 9; and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 10.
