About the play

Nobody does Shakespeare like Impact. Following last year’s 1980s-themed critical and audience megahit A Midsummer Night’s Dream, we now set our sights on present-day Tinseltown for another beloved comedy, Twelfth Night. That’s right—Impact’s going Hollywood! In our version of Shakespeare’s romantic romp of mistaken identity, a film legend pursues a bereaved starlet, entourages get drunk’d and Punk’d, and someone fresh off the boat—literally—makes a big splash in the business.

Featuring Sarah Coykendall, Mike Delaney, Maria Giere, Ara Glenn-Johanson, Cindy Im, Alexander Prather, Bryan Quinn, Jai Sahai, Seth Thygesen, Valerie Weak, Reggie White, Jordan Winer, and Dennis Yen

"You've got to hand it to Impact Theatre: they make reimagining Shakespeare look so darned easy...strong comic performances...the enthusiastic cast and timeless humor win the night"—SF Bay Guardian
