A shipwreck on a foreign land. A girl disguised as a boy who falls for a duke. A duke who pines for a countess who swoons for the girl (disguised as a boy). The gluttonous drunkard Sir Toby Belch. And Feste, the fool with the wisdom to somehow tie it all together.
Twelfth Night — with its entanglements, its absurdities, its romance — headlines the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival’s 2025 season, returning to Sand Harbor’s outdoor, lakeside stage 7 nights a week from July 5 to Aug. 25.
“It’s one of Shakespeare’s great comedies,” said Sara Bruner, the organization’s producing artistic director designate. “Our production in particular explores its deeper notes of tragedy and loss while celebrating the joy of the play.”
