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.

There are no decent restaurants within walking distance. We ate at a horrible Thai rest.

Don't worry about getting TOO dressed up here, it's more of a casual vibe.

Try Burrito Brothers on Pennsylvania Avenue. Cheap eats, but tasty.

Written on Jan 01 2013Great performances all around. Great cast, great show. Love this theater. Every seat in the house is a good seat imo. The size of the theater itself is perfect for an intimate feel that isn't too intimate. Love the old school wooden style too. I recommend seeing this show if you get the chance to.

Written on Jun 14 2012I always love the Folger, and Taming of the Shrew is a favorite. I loved the western interpretation and the music was fabulous. What a neat way to tie the two together! It was so well acted and every seat in the theatre is a great one.

Written on Jun 11 2012This show's run is over now but it was a blast -- very funny and fun, which I believe was Shakespeare's intent. I for one will not pay attention to the Washington Post reviews ever again.
