Review: TWELFTH NIGHT at Shakespeare & Company

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT at Shakespeare & Company

by Marc Savitt · July 15, 2026

TWELFTH NIGHT is a fast-paced farce that may occasionally edge a tad over the top, but it is well designed, well staged and well presented.

Review: ESTATE SALE at Barrington Stage Company

by Marc Savitt · July 7, 2026
