Ye Olde Comedy

Was it ever confirmed that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet? Would a play by Shakespeare be as good if it were written by Fakespeare? William himself entertains the art of deception in his classic (but then which of his plays aren’t?) Twelfth Night. This comedy of girl loses brother, girl impersonates brother, girl – who is now boy -- falls in love with man, woman falls in love with girl/boy, brother is found.... Well, let’s not get lost in the details. Typical Shakespearean twists and turns and plenty of doths and whereforths will be presented – or interpreted in modern fashion -- at the Shakespeare in the Park series.
