(short for Amy Freed’s The Beard of Avon and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night)
{Orsino, Duke of Illyria (Brent Harris) professes his love for Olivia and instructs his servant Cesario (actually Viola in disguise, performed by Jennifer Lee Taylor) to deliver her flowers, but Viola’s heart breaks, for she’s fallen in love with Orsino, in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Twelfth Night:
“Shakespeare as you like it… clear, captivating… generally superb cast… vibrant comic performances. …Plotwise, it’s a drink so fizzy that it stirs itself.”
— Marty Hughley,The Oregonian
“If you’re looking for real entertainment, this is it.”
—Ben Waterhouse, Willamette Week
The Beard of Avon:
“…riveting tale and flawless stagecraft… make this the best ensemble piece seen in Portland this season.”
— Eric Bartels, Portland Tribune
“…quick, clever and brainy.”
—Ben Waterhouse, Willamette Week
“[Darius] Pierce is ideal for the role [of Shakspere]… Smart and sensitive but perpetually frustrated, his Will is credible as both bumpkin and late-blooming genius.”
— Marty Hughley,The Oregonian
