Due to popular demand and critical acclaim, Drama Desk-nominated Axis Theatre Company presents an encore engagement of its celebrated new staging of William Shakespeare’s most heart-breaking comedy, Twelfth Night. Directed by Randall Sharp, this streamlined production is adapted by playwright and dramaturg Marc Palmieri and features original music by Paul Carbonara (of Blondie) performed live.
?
Even in a season of the darkest calamities, does the human will to be happy ever surrender? Shall there be cakes, ale, dancing and love, as the darkness ever looms? Director Randall Sharp brings her signature stark and musical touch to one of Shakespeare’s most hilarious, yet heart-breaking tales of unrequited love. Sharp’s radical interpretation strips away much of the jovial excess of Shakespeare’s most-beloved play and places focus on the yearning for human connection.?

Reviews

  • "The Axis Theatre Company’s new adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is something to celebrate. Directed by Randall Sharp, and superbly performed by a 12-member ensemble cast, this Twelfth Night is a wild and wonderful romp through Illyria."

    —Deirdre Donovan, OffOffOnline

  • "…satisfying in its exactitude… Axis refers to Twelfth Night as ‘Shakespeare’s most painful comedy,’ and that’s just what [Randall] Sharp, [Marc] Palmieri, and the superb cast deliver… Twelfth Night demonstrates precisely what Sharp and Axis do best, whether offering an original play or a fresh take on an old chestnut."
