By William Shakespeare. Hebrew adaptation: Ehud Manor. Director: Roni Brodetzky. Featuring: Naomi Harari, Orly Zilberschatz, Lillian Barto, Dovit Gvish, Nili Rogel, Naama Amit, Oshrat Ingedasht, Carmel Netzer, Ronit Apel, Hagar Nachmias, Aviv Horowitz / Shira Zohar, Sharon Gabay / Aviv Horowitz. A play that begins with a shipwreck and ends with three weddings. In between, a dizzying comedy of errors unfolds, with heroines who fall in love, get drunk, quarrel, and celebrate. Viola is washed up on the shores of Illyria after a shipwreck, while her twin brother Sebastian — who was with her on the voyage — has vanished. To survive in a foreign land, she decides to adopt a male identity and enter the service of Duke Orsino. The duke sends her to serve as a messenger of love to the woman he loves, Countess Olivia. But the mission becomes complicated: Viola herself falls in love with the duke, while Olivia falls in love with Viola disguised as a man. In Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare weaves a sweeping, twist-filled comedy in which the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, and the situation in Illyria seems to have no way out. Only the unexpected appearance of the twin Sebastian unravels the tangle of loves and identities — leading to one of the most beautiful and famous theatrical endings ever written. Director Roni Brodetzky, one of the most prominent and intriguing voices in contemporary Israeli theater, brings a bold new interpretation of Twelfth Night to the Habima Theatre for the first time. For the first time in Israel, all the roles in the production are performed by women — a staging choice that raises, with both humor and depth, questions about desire, identity, and role-play.
