Conceptual and comestible” – The New York Times
The Off-Off Broadway theater collective The Legitimate Theater Company stamps its fast and loose vibe on William Shakespeare’s classic comedy of concealed identity
and hidden passion during Friday and Saturday nights in September at One Eyed Jacks. After two sold-out runs in New York City, Twelfth Night: The Drinking Game arrives in New Orleans with an all-new cast for selected weekend evenings beginning August 31st, 2007. For it’s January 2006 production in New York, Twelght Night: The Drinking Game was the subject of a feature article by the New York Times, and was named “Best of Season 2005 - 2006”
by Offoffonline.com.
Twelfth Night: The Drinking Game, directed by Richard Lovejoy, is a unique, interactive production focusing on the play’s themes of stasis confronting inevitable change, morality colliding with hedonism, and sexuality unveiling its ambiguities. Through the drinking game, the audience members literally join
in the festivities, and raise a glass when cued by the play’s actions. The actors sit with, drink with, and directly engage the spectators as they perform the bard’s tale of shipwrecked twins lost in a strange world. Twelfth Night: The Drinking Game allows the audience to experience Shakespeare’s comedy like raucous comedy like never before.
