Bell, best known for his award-winning work in London, on Broadway, and with the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, will direct.
"Twelfth Night" bursts with ravishing romance, sidesplitting humor and some of the most famous characters ever to grace the stage. Shipwrecked twins set this tale of unlikely love and mistaken identity in bittersweet motion.
Viola, separated from her brother Sebastian and now alone in the world, disguises herself as a servant boy and falls hopelessly in love with the duke she serves. Duke Orsino pursues Countess Olivia, whose adoring gaze falls on the duke's new page - Viola dressed as a boy.
