In 2006, the Dukedom of Illyria became the elite boarding school setting of a contemporary teenage drama that catalyzed Channing Tatum’s evolution from male stripper to movie star. This year, playwright Max Gutmann reinvents the beloved Elizabethan era comedy by rearranging thousands of snippets from the original play and shifting savvy sea captain Antonio to center stage. Little does Sebastian’s friend (or lover?) know that in this rendition, his happy life is about to fall apart. Kidnapping, cross-dressing and flirtation convene in the world premiere of this madcap travesty production that runs until July 16.
