Twelfth Night, Or What You Will Reviews
Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended
"...As a silent pageant, this is very good. As an articulate exposition of the mayhem of misplaced love, it is not. However, the overall experience is festive."
Chicagoland Musical Theatre- Recommended
"...Aside from the dynamics of sexual identity, the other major distinguishing factor between Twelfth Night and Shakespeare’s other comedies is the amount of music included in the play, here composed by Elizabeth Rentfro and Alex Mauney, which rides a fine line of homage to the original Elizabethan style combined with a Father John Misty-esque indie folk that is pleasant to listen to and brings an appropriate bitter-sweetness to the proceedings."
NewCity Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...It’s definitely very watchable the whole time though. Every actor has at least one moment in the sun and nobody drags it down. What I really respect about this “Twelfth Night,” though, is that they didn’t shy away from the darkest parts of the play. Malvolio (played marvelously by Maureen Yasko) is portrayed as a flawed figure, but that doesn’t warrant the pain of being at the ass end of a joke taken too far."
