Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s San Diego, this radical reimagining of "Twelfth Night" swaps Elizabethan garb for neon windbreakers, beachballs, and synth beats. When a shipwreck strands Viola on the sun-soaked shores of SoCal, she disguises herself as a dude named “Cesario” and meets the music obsessed Duke Orsino, who’s pining for the wealthy Olivia. But when Olivia falls for Cesario and Viola falls for Orsino, things get gnarlier than a beachside love triangle. Throw in a crew of mischievous music fans, a power-tripping Malvolio, and plenty of mistaken identities, and you’ve got a hilarious, high-energy romp full of heart, hijinks, and hairspray. Shakespeare meets mixtapes in this totally tubular take on love, gender, and finding your true self. Location: Prebys Stage The SDSU School of Theatre, Television, and Film on Instagram
