KU adds gender twist to Twelfth Night at KU
The Kansas Union Theatre presents a New Orleans 1917 setting of Twelfth Night with Orsino a woman and Viola posing as a man. The production emphasizes identity, inclusivity, and love beyond gender, with jazz fills from the Richard F. Wright Jazz Archive and a shift toward a more equal dynamic between Viola and Orsino.
