REP’s ‘Twelfth Night’ will go to New York City when it closes in Newark

The Resident Ensemble Players, the professional acting company at the University of Delaware, will present Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night" through May 6 in Newark, and then take it to New York City for three weeks.

The show is directed by Tony Award-nominated Maria Aitken, who also directed last year’s “Tartuffe” and 2015’s “Heartbreak House.” “Twelfth Night” is a co-production with The Acting Company.

The story details the aftermath of a shipwreck during which Viola decides to disguise herself as a boy, only to end up in a love triangle.

REP company members in the cast include Stephen Pelinski as Malvolio, Hassan El-Amin as Antonio, Mic Matarrese as Fabian, Lee E. Ernst as Sir Toby Belch, Michael Gotch as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Elizabeth Heflin as Olivia and Antoinette Robinson as Waiting Woman.

Single tickets are $26-$31. Buy them at www.rep.udel.edu, (302) 831-2204 or the REP box office. Guest speakers will discuss aspects of the production during free pre-show presentations on Saturday, April 28 and May 5. Talkbacks with the cast take place on Thursday, April 26 and May 4.
