The Town of New Castle along with the Arts & Culture Committee present LawnChair Theater company’s version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, at the Rec Field on Friday, August 5 at 6 p.m. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare’s RomCom of gender confusion and mistaken identity, where the Good People are sometimes indistinguishable from the bullies.

Standing in for Illyria is San Francisco in 1967, the Summer of Love. Shorthairs and longhairs, mods,freaks and hippies. Yes, and rock and roll. This abridged version of the play is approximately two hours long. Bring a blanket or a chair and have a picnic dinner while watching the play. Food will be made available for purchase.

They have had great fun producing nine summers of Shakespeare. Their casts are multi-generational, blending both professional and amateur performers. Their goal is to contemporize Shakespeare without rewriting him, and to create community through their work and play.new castle arts and culture committee logo-08
