Screen Shakespeare’s classic “Twelfth Night” at the San Juan Community Theatre

Submitted by the San Juan Community Theatre

National Theatre Live in London takes on Shakespeare’s classic comedy of mistaken identity, screened at San Juan Community Theatre on Friday, June 30 at 7 p.m.

Simon Godwin (NT Live: “Man and Superman,” NT Live: “The Beaux’ Stratagem”) directs this joyous new production of Twelfth Night, with Tamsin Greig (Friday Night Dinner, Black Books, Episodes) as a transformed Malvolia.

A ship is wrecked on the rocks. Viola has washed ashore but her twin brother Sebastian is lost. Determined to survive on her own, she steps out to explore a new land. So begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love.

The nearby households of Olivia and Orsino are overrun with passion. Even Olivia’s upright housekeeper Malvolia is swept up in the madness. Where music is the food of love, and nobody is quite what they seem, anything proves possible.

Tickets for the screening are $20 for adults, $18 for SJCT members and $10 for student reserved. Due to a financial agreement with the Met, no SJCT coupons are accepted for these productions. Tickets are available at www.sjctheatre.org or at the SJCT Box Office at 378-3210.
