About the show.

Four of New York City's finest underemployed actors/self-proclaimed Shakespeare experts attempt to put on a one-of-a-kind production of the bard's beloved mistaken identity, romantic comedy, Twelfth Night - but doing Shakespeare's a lot harder than everyone says it is.

Whether you've seen every Shakespeare play or none at all, this unfamiliar take on a familiar classic will have you laughing, clapping, and asking the question, "What is Shakespeare, anyway?"
