Who: Shakespeare Festival St. Louis
What: Twelfth Night
Where: Shakespeare Glen next to the Art Museum in Forest Park.
When: Nightly at 8 except Tuesdays through June 16
Why: Shakespeare Festival has been bringing polished outdoor productions of the Bard to town for some time now. They've had their ups and downs, critically speaking, but they're always a class act. Twelfth Night, in addition, is a show for which I've always had a great deal of affection, in part because I've performed it twice (once as Sir Andrew and once as Antonio) and in part because it's such a good-natured piece. I'll be moderating a talkback session after the show on Friday night, so hang around and say "hi". The title, by the way, refers to the fact that the play was written as an entertainment for the close of the Christmas season in 1602 or thereabouts.
