Let's say you're lost at sea, and in order to get a job in the new town you've washed up in (sans brother), you have to dress like a boy. When this goofy plan works, you end up working for a nobleman named Orsino who's epically romantic - so dreamy, in fact, that you yourself fall for him; bummer that he pays you to woo the object of his affection, Olivia. Even weirder that Olivia falls for your drag self. Meanwhile, there's the rest of Olivia's house: ridiculous Malvolio, also in love with Olivia; the devlish Maria and Feste, who excel at toying with Malvolio, and the derelict dandies Toby and Andrew vying for their own loves. Nobody even remembers your brother Sebastian - but when he comes to town, he makes women swoon. Luckily, Shakespeare's "reunited" feels so good.

Previews Feb. 15-16, opens Feb. 17, runs Thursday through Sunday through March 4.
