Twelfth Night
Written by William Shakespeare
​
Directed by Jay Stratton
Translation by Gaby Reyes
​
Madeline Park Shakespeare Festival, 2023
​
As producing Artistic Director of Madeline Park Shakespeare, we have made the decision that our second-year offering will be a bilingual version of Twelfth Night. Supported by the UTEP College of Liberal Arts, I am working with a translator to create a family-friendly adaptation of the play that moves back and forth between English and Spanish. We believe this bilingual approach will create a festival that is more inclusive and accessible to all El Paso audiences and that reflects the border culture of our city.
