Review: TWELFTH NIGHT at Shakespeare & Company
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. The action often, approaching if not achieving slap stick in its nature, was well received and enjoyed by a diverse audience. And let's just say that all's we…
