On Monday, November 4th, the Na
tional Players brought their production
of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night
to Moore Auditorium.
After 42 consecutive seasons of tour
ing, National Players has earned a uni
que name and place in American
theatre. The name has become
synonymous with quality productions of
the world’s greatest plays done by
professional actors against handsome
sets with beautiful costumes and fresh
ly conceived staging.
In 42 seasons, this remarkable acting
company has given approximately 5000
performances of plays by Shakespeare,
Moliere, Shaw, Brandon Thomas, Kafka,
Sophocles, Peter Shaffer, and many
more.
Twelfth Night is an intriguing story
centering around the holiday so entitled.
This was the twelfth day of Christmas
where in each family a king was
crowned for the day. Shakespeare tells
of Viola (Meredith Jones), a high-born
young woman, who is separated by
shipwreck from her twin brother, Sebas
tian (Scott Harrison), and each thinks
the other dead. Cast ashore on the
coast of Illyria, Viola disguises herself as
a boy and enters the service of Duke Or-
sino (Andre Marrero). The Duke sends
her to press his love-suit with the Coun
tess Olivia (Marybeth Wise), who is in
mourning and will not receive him.
Viola, calling herself "Cesario," and now
in love with Orsino, succeeds in her mis
sion only in making Olivia fall in love with
her under the impression that she is a
young man.
After the entrance of many more
complications to the story, matters are
brought to a head when Olivia openly
declares her passion to her page. Sir
Andrew (B. Michael MC Farland) is en
couraged by Sir Toby (Ian Le Valley) to
win Olivia’s favor by challenging her
page (CesarioA/iola) to a duel.
Meanwhile, Viola’s brother Sebastian ar
rives in Illyria with Antonio, a sea cap
tain. After they separate, Antonio (Rob
Monson) comes upon the dueling
scene. Believing "Cesario" is Sebastian,
Antonio comes to the rescue but is ar
rested. Later, SirToby mistakes Sebas
tian for Cesario and challenges him, but
before any blood is shed, Olivia appears
and takes the befuddled but delighted
Sebastian away with her. He falls in
love, and they are married.
When the Duke arrives at Olivia’s
house, the twins are reunited, identities
revealed, Malvolio released, and Viola
and the Duke pledged to wed.
The play was excellently performed
and was highly enjoyable. We thank the
National Players for a fine performance
Monday.
