The plays of William Shakespeare often transport audiences to vastly different places and times, all from the comfort of their theatre seats. Justin Anderson was transported by one of the Shakespeare’s plays, but in a literal sense.

Anderson is the Associate Artistic Director of Aurora Theatre and he spent October to December in Tirana, Albania where he directed a production of “Twelfth Night.” It was the first production of that play that the Mediterranean republic had seen since 1987.

Anderson collaborated on the show with one-time Atlantan Jonida Beqo, artistic director of Teatri Metropol. The two met while working on a show at Theatrical Outfit.
