What You Will

Shakespeare like you’ve not seen it before.

Shakespeare’s classic comedy includes the hallmark elements one would expect: a shipwreck, separated twins, cross dressing, mistaken identity, unrequited love, a whimsical fool and a much maligned, authoritarian chief of staff. This lively production includes all those things with the added bonus of being set in the 80s with totally rad costumes and a killer soundtrack to boot.

Our tale begins with stranded and separated twins Viola & Sebastian arriving in the superficial, yet fantastical land of Illyria which is governed by ’The Lord of Rock’ (Orsino) & bedazzled by the beautiful & much desired supermodel, Olivia. Seeking employment and believing her brother is dead, Viola adopts her male alter ego ‘Cesario’ and sets course to serve The Lord (of Rock) who quickly takes Cesario under his wing and sends ‘him’ on the important errand of wooing Olivia on his behalf…bad move dude. You’ll have to come find out just how this will unfurl. This promises to be Shakespeare like you’ve not seen it before, with plenty of music and laughter to persuade even the most doubtful among you that The Bard’s work is not yet done.
