IN THE PRESS

“A sequel that feels like a sweet summer frolic.”

– THE NEW YORK TIMES CRITIC’S PICK

“Would that we all could have a second act as fulfilling as Malvolio’s.”  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

– TIME OUT NEW YORK

An irreverent comedy and sequel to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

It’s wartime. A lowborn steward, Malvolio, has risen to the rank of general.  He is determined to seek vengeance on a cast of characters who tormented him twenty years earlier.  Malvolio encounters Volina, the daughter of Duke Orsino and Duchess Viola.  Dismayed by the apathy of her fellow nobles, Volina tries to pass as male to join the war effort.  When she falls in love with him, Malvolio is sure her ardent displays of unbridled passion and awkward love letters must be a trick.  How do we get past each other’s defenses?  Can the right kind of love heal all wounds? MALVOLIO explores the difference between revenge and redemption.

RAIN POLICY

CTH shows go on rain or shine, so it’s always best to assume the show will perform as scheduled. In the event of rain, the start of the performance may be delayed; however, the performance will begin as soon as it is possible to do so. Performances may also pause for sudden changes in weather, but will resume as soon as weather permits. We will only cancel in extreme weather conditions, and will post alerts on our website and on social media with as much notice as possible.
