Viola (aka Cesario)

A sharp, brave woman who has absolutely no time for the patriarchy. After a shipwreck, she dresses as a dude to get a job with Duke Orsino. What could go wrong? Oh, you know, falling in love with him while he’s in love with someone else. Her life becomes a tangled mess of mistaken identities, unrequited love, and a whole lot of pretending to be a man (even though her disguise is far from subtle).

Viola’s basically the OG romantic heroine—she’s like if Elizabeth Bennet were shipwrecked, in disguise, and trying to dodge several over-the-top romantic advances all at once.

Duke Orsino

This guy is the definition of a “hopeless romantic.” He’s in love with Olivia, who clearly doesn’t feel the same way, but he’s convinced that it’s all about the chase. He spends most of the play wooing her, asking Viola (as Cesario) to do all the heavy lifting. Once Viola’s true identity is revealed, suddenly he’s like, “Oh, right, I’ve always been into you!” Classic.

Olivia

She’s the rich widow who’s been in mourning for her brother for, like, way too long. She swears off men, which is probably why every man in Illyria is sooooo in love with her. But then, Viola-as-Cesario shows up, and she’s like, “Forget the Duke, I want that one.” Olivia’s love story is basically a “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” cautionary tale—but also, we totally get it, she’s adorable.

Sir Toby Belch

Olivia’s uncle, Sir Toby is a lovable, drunk, merry troublemaker. He spends most of the play eating, drinking, and generally getting up to no good, which, honestly, is exactly the kind of relative we all want at family parties. His best work comes when he conspires with Maria to prank the miserable Malvolio. Honestly, Toby’s just here for the fun, and he’s bringing the chaos, whether you like it or not.

Maria

Olivia’s clever servant who can definitely outwit anyone. Maria’s the one who masterminds the Malvolio prank (honestly, it’s genius). She’s got a sharp mind, a quick tongue, and she knows how to stir the pot. At first, it seems like she’s just going along with Sir Toby and co., but before long, she’s an equal partner in crime. Plus, spoiler alert: She and Sir Toby end up together, which is adorable, because nothing says “true love” like a good old-fashioned prank war.

Malvolio

Ugh. Malvolio. This guy is the absolute worst, and I mean that in the most entertaining way. He’s Olivia’s steely steward, obsessed with discipline, propriety, and never having fun. His big moment comes when he’s tricked into believing that Olivia’s in love with him, which leads to him dressing up in yellow stockings and cross-garters, looking like a Renaissance clown. Spoiler: No one’s in love with Malvolio, and his whole “I’m better than all of you” act gets him locked up in the end. It’s almost like he had it coming.

Sir Andrew Aguecheek

A man of zero self-awareness. Sir Andrew’s been trying to woo Olivia for ages, but no one (not even Olivia) is remotely interested. He’s got money, he’s got a ridiculous name, and he’s got no game. Honestly, though, Sir Andrew’s just trying to hang with Sir Toby, who’s more of a role model than anything. He’s a lovable fool, and it’s hard not to root for him—even though he’s basically just there for comic relief.

Sebastian

Viola’s long-lost twin brother, and a total mood when he shows up. He’s like, “Oh hey, I’m not dead! Let’s get married, because… why not?” He ends up accidentally married to Olivia, all because she thinks he’s Cesario. It’s one of the play’s most classic mix-ups, but Sebastian—the guy who’s just like, “Sure, let’s go with this”—is a total champ about the whole thing. He’s probably the most “chill” character in the play, and honestly, we could all use a little more of that energy.

Feste

The clown. The fool. The one who’s smarter than everyone else in the room. Feste doesn’t get involved in all the romantic drama—but he’s got the best one-liners and a witty commentary on everyone’s foolishness. You’ll love him for his songs, his biting sarcasm, and his sharp observations about life and love. In a way, he’s the true voice of reason in the middle of all this chaos.

The Rest of the Cast

There are a few more minor characters: servants, sailors, and random dudes who occasionally show up to further complicate everything. They don’t have the same chaotic energy as the main characters—but hey, someone has to clean up after the madness, right?

TodD Brown

Malvolio, steward in Olivia’s household

Todd is thrilled to join this great cast in another Anywhere Theatre Company production, having previously been in Dracula and the Theater of Doom (Dracula/Raul Vaddla), The Spectre Bridegroom (Narrator/Baron von Landshort), and a reading of A Midsummer’s Night Dream (Oberon + Theseus) at Peabody Outdoor Classroom. Hope you enjoy the show. And I encourage everyone to wear yellow stockings and go cross-gartered once in a while.

Tony Hamilton

Orsino, Duke of Illyria

Tony wants the audience to understand the importance of keeping the arts alive, especially in your community. Theatre is the soul at play, hence why we are “players.” It teaches us valuable lessons in perspective, acceptance of others, team building, and the power of imagination, along with the themes expressed within the stories themselves. It is a window to worlds we may never see with our own eyes. To attack the arts and silence the artist is to rob life of joy, self-discovery, and free-thought.

Maddi LANDAU

Olivia, an Illyrian countess

Maddi is excited to be back performing with Anywhere Theater Company. She’d love to thank Peter Royston for all his support and the cast and crew of twelfth night for making the process so amazing, dotted with laughter and teamwork. She would also like to thank her friends, family and mostly her best friend for their love and continued support. Tutti i Funyuns bubs.

She has also starred in a few short films, those credits include: Lane Drives Wanda (Lane),  Easier Isn’t Always Better (Riley), This House is Haunted (Avery/Madelyn). Isabella is excited and honored to work with such an amazing cast to bring this story to life.
