The Old Globe’s Globe for All Brings Shakespeare to San Diegans

The Old Globe's annual Globe for All tour brings a reimagined "Twelfth Night" to audiences across San Diego this November.

The tour, running from Oct. 31 to Sunday, Nov. 19, gives diverse audiences across the county a chance to see theater.

“This wonderful program shares the glories of The Old Globe, free of charge, with our neighbors throughout the county who may not regularly participate in our programming in Balboa Park, and it helps make theatre matter to their communities," said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein in a statement.

The cross-cultural production transforms Shakespeare's beloved comedy.

The town of Illyria becomes a modern-day Southern California getaway, and it's there we find Viola, a Mexican immigrant tragically separated from her twin brother as she travels to the U.S.

She disguises herself as a young man and goes to work for Orsino, determined to make a better life for herself. Follow the play's twists and turns and romantic triangles.

In addition, Viola addresses the audience in asides and soliloquies in her native tongue, Spanish.

The play will be staged at unique spaces across San Diego. Here's a full list of the free performances.
