Bob Abelman

Under Drew Barr's direction, Great Lakes’ exposes the dark underbelly of this romantic comedy.  This adds texture to the questions Shakespeare raises about love and desire, which makes for a truly intriguing evening of theater. But it plays havoc with the humor.

TWELFTH NIGHT, one of Shakespeare’s most produced comedies, gets a creative, energized production.  It should please both Shakespeare enthusiasts and novices as it is an easy to understand and comprehensible staging with lots of humor and farcical periods.

It is with good reason why Shakespeare’s works have withstood the test of time.  Through the use of universal themes it is theater that everyone can easily relate to.  This Great Lakes Theater production of “Twelfth Night” truly hits the funny bone with audience members still laughing as they depart.  Check this one out.

If you can get past some of the less than artful attempts at humor, this Twelfth Night has much to recommend it.

Though "Twelfth Night" is one of the Bard's most famous comedies, Dres Barr's gorgeous production at Great Lakes Theater embraces its tragic underpinnings, from the spectacular decay of the set to the Goth chic of the costumes.
