The incomparbable Shakespeare in the Park Series kicks off with a powerhouse production of one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. The Public welcomes Academy Award Nominee Anne Hathaway as she makes her Public Theater debut playing Viola, one of the canon’s most charming heroines. This beguiling comedy follows the romantic adventures of Viola and her identical twin Sebastian, both shipwrecked in the enchanted dukedom of Illyria. At the helm of this time-honored story of cross-dressing and mistaken identity, all in the name of love, is Tony Award winning Director Daniel Sullivan.

The Public Theatre is offering two (2) tickets to the opening night of TWELFTH NIGHT at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 8pm. These are highly coveted tickets and will surely be selling out every night!  The fun continues after the curtain call, with two (2) party passes for the post-show cast party at Belvedere Castle.
