Love, deception, ambition, and desire collide in Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s great romantic comedy. A delightful blend of mistaken identity, disguises, and love triangles, Twelfth Night features some of Shakespeare’s most famed passages, with its effervescent comic energy carried swiftly by deeper currents of grief, forgiveness, and transformation. Fast, energetic, and above all gloriously entertaining, Twelfth Night is one of the great playwright’s most popular and enduring stories. Actors From The London Stage, the renowned five-actor touring group, brings Twelfth Night back to the touring circuit in fall 2024. With each actor portraying multiple roles, this dynamic, self-directed ensemble brings a fresh and vivacious energy to each new performance. Shipwrecked on the isle of Illyria, Viola, separated from her twin Sebastian, dresses as a boy and works for the Duke Orsino, with whom she falls in love. Orsino is in love with the Countess Olivia, and sends Viola to court her for him, but Olivia falls for Viola instead. Sebastian arrives, causing a flood of mistaken identity, and marries Olivia. Will Viola ultimately be able to be with the one she loves?

Join the English Department American Area for a lecture by Peter Coviello (Professor; University of Illinois, Chicago) Love and Ruin; or, The Shining in an Age of Last Things What can it mean to love the things we love (books, records, movies, people) in a time of polycrisis and disaster? And how do our icons speak to us – what news can they deliver – in the midst of such planet-sized calamity? Taking its cue from the iconic horror of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, this talk asks what it means to live in the shadow of cataclysms at once everywhere sensible and, in their ruinous breadth, difficult to apprehend, to know. All manner of things find us through our icons, those talismanic conduits to the inconceivable. We will consider the fate of knowing, unknowing, and criticism itself here in a time of crisis and collapse, an age of Last Things. Peter Coviello is a scholar of American literature and queer theory. A writer of criticism, scholarship, and literary nonfiction, he is the author of six books, including Make Yourselves Gods: Mormonism and the Unfinished Business of American Secularism; Long Players; and Tomorrow’s Parties: Sex and the Untimely in Nineteenth-Century America. His recent book, Vineland Reread, was listed among the New York Times’s “New and Noteworthy” titles for January 2021. He is the editor of Walt Whitman’s Civil War memoir Memoranda During the War and of the Penguin Classics edition of Herman Melville’s short fiction. His newest book, Is There God After Prince?: Dispatches from an Age of Last Things, was selected for The Millions’ “Most Anticipated” list for 2023.

Sponsored by the Notre Dame Ethics Initiative and the Notre Dame Institute for Ethics and the Common Good Honoring the legacy of legendary Notre Dame President Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., Fr. TED Talks is a two-night festival, October 28-29, on Notre Dame’s campus featuring short keynote talks from every corner of the Notre Dame community as we gather to consider all of the ways the pillars of Catholic social tradition animate our lives together. A “Fr. TED Talk” is a ten-minute address by members of the Notre Dame community (students, alumni, staff, and faculty) on one big idea from the Catholic social tradition that is worth exploring. Featuring stories, points of view, and personal flair – a great Fr. Ted talk inspires the audience to take a deeper look at the idea. Each evening, several Notre Dame community members–students, alumni, staff, and faculty–will give TED-style talks. Speakers will be chosen through an application process, which is open to all members of the campus community. If selected, speakers will receive support in preparation from a distinguished mentor on campus. A reception with live music from student-led bands will follow the speakers each evening.
