Folger Theatre brings you Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the comic tale of two women mourning the loss of their beloved brothers. Olivia shuts herself away from the world, while Viola -- finding herself shipwrecked in a strange city -- disguises herself as a man. When the two meet, Olivia falls in love with Viola believing her to be a man, and the hilarity begins. Filled with Shakespeare's most indelible comedic characters and side-splitting situations, this comic tale of wild infatuation and mistaken identities in the strange land of Illyria is laugh-out-loud funny.

Written on Feb 11 2013An excellent show that I still think about a year later. I particularly thought that Samantha Gleisten gave a stand out performance, but The Hypocrites delivered overall. They executed the unusual flow of the show seamlessly, allowing us to care about characters that we knew were 'just' characters. Looking forward to more Hypocrites shows.

- “The lines between reality and fiction are beautifully blurred by director Halena Kays, who stages the production across three platforms that the audience follows in swivel chairs.” —Time Out Chicago

About the Ticket Supplier: The Hypocrites
Their mission, which is ever-evolving to adapt to the growth of their organization, is to make a Theater of Honesty. They define a Theater of Honesty chiefly through two elements of their work: performance and presentation. In performance, their actors shall employ a genuine emotional vulnerability, rather than manufacturing a disconnected, intellectual version of emotion. In presentation, they shall acknowledge their presence in a theater and embrace high theatricality. Through this balance of an unyielding emotional honesty and accepting a concept of "play," they seek to strengthen the connection between artist and audience, enriching their audience's imaginative experience. Ultimately, they aim, perhaps somewhat naively, to spread understanding within society, thereby minimizing cruelty
