Twelfe Night, or What You Will
Bloedel Reserve offers the ideal backdrop for William Shakespeare's Twelfe Night, or What You Will. In the exotic Mediterranean dukedom of Illyria, there is a plague upon the land. Everyone is in love-with the wrong person. Disguise and deceit are the order of the day as a love triangle entangles an ever-widening circle. Only music has the power to cure the madness of love.

About Bloedel Reserve
The Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island is an internationally renowned public garden and forest preserve and The BPA Shakespeare Society's summertime performance aligns seamlessly with the founder's vision "to provide refreshment and tranquility in the presence of natural beauty."
