Overview

• Twelfth Night opened August 21 at the refurbished Delacorte Theater after about $85 million in renovations and is scheduled to run through September 14.
• Public Theater leaders Oskar Eustis and Patrick Willingham produce the revival, with resident director Saheem Ali leading the staging.
• The ensemble includes Lupita Nyong’o as Viola, Sandra Oh as Olivia, Peter Dinklage as Malvolio, Moses Sumney as Feste, and Junior Nyong’o as Sebastian, alongside Jesse Tyler Ferguson, John Ellison Conlee, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Khris Davis.
• Critics describe a contemporary, eclectic adaptation that introduces Swahili passages and broad visual gags such as gym routines, hot-tub bits, and boxing flourishes, yielding an evening many found satisfying.
• Reviews single out the Nyong’o siblings’ chemistry, praise Oh’s rare stage turn, and note Dinklage’s sympathetic Malvolio, with colorful design and Michael Thurber’s music adding to the crowd-pleasing vibe.
