Random Access Theatre Company Presents a Raucous, Jazz-Age Staging of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

NEW YORK, NEW YORK—A fun romp full of gender-bending, mistaken identity, music and mayhem, Random Access Theatre Company’s Twelfth Night re-energizes Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy. As told by eight actors and a musical instrument, this fast-paced, 90-minute wild ride unfolds against the backdrop of Prohibition in the big city. Lawrence Lesher directs this production, in which one actor plays the twin leads, Viola and Sebastian, and another plays Antonio and Orsino. Twelfth Night will open with one ticketed benefit performance before a run of free park performances throughout New York City. The opening night benefit performance on Friday, May 11th at 8:00PM is at GrindSpace Loft and features an open bar and beautiful views of Gramercy.
