The production, performed with minimal props, costumes and lighting effects, features five actors portraying nearly 30 different characters between them. The actors shift roles through gesture, stance, intonation or the simple use of a skirt or scarf.
Chairs serve as tables, cauldrons, thrones or podiums as needed.
The production relies on the spoken words to carry the play. Complications arise when two twins, Viola and Sebastian, are separated by a shipwreck and reappear in Illyria with Viola now disguised as a boy, Cesario.
