See Shakespeare’s play as it was intended – out into to open air and sunlight, as it was performed four centuries ago.
A “brisk and giddy-paced” mix of love poetry and clowning, Twelfth Night offers up some of Shakespeare’s most memorable lines and interesting characters. They struggle as we do to define and discover love in a dangerous, often ridiculous, world.
Twelfth Night Quotes – – –
“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”

“If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.”

“Journeys end in lovers meeting.”

“Love sought is good, but giv’n unsought is better.”

It is too hard a knot for me t’untie.”

“Olivia: How does he love me?
Viola: With adoration, with fertile tears,
With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.”
