"What You Will," fully titled "Twelfth Night, or What You Will," is one of William Shakespeare's best known and most dearly beloved comedies. Often called his most perfect comedy, the play includes shipwreck, loved ones assumed dead, mistaken identity, gender swapping, prank playing, fighting, and most importantly, revelry.
Our production puts revelry front and center, seeking to incorporate the audience in an experience of drinking (beer will be served for a suggested charitable contributions), singing, joking, the occasional melancholy or morbid note, and general merriment. Come ready for an experience, as the actors will talk to you, toast to you, and possibly use you as a prop or interlocutor. The space is small and intimate, the goal being to incorporate the audience as fully into the experience of the play as is possible without giving them specific lines.

The ten actors will accompany themselves and each other in an extra-musical rendition of a story with swelling and overbearing love discovered in the wake of devastating loss. They bring their myriad talents in dance, poetry, singing, fighting, and enchanting each other with the sheer power of their presence.
