Revel in the midsummer madness as twins Sebastian and Viola survive shipwreck, revenge plots, and the trick doors of love. After a 1-year hiatus, The Public Theater's run returns to the newly renovated Delacorte Theater.

The cast includes Lupita Nyong'o (Viola), Sandra Oh (Olivia), Peter Dinklage (Malvolio), and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Andrew Aguecheek).
