Twelfth Night Review
by Marlene Gaylinn, Connecticut Critics Circle.
“I just saw Twelfth Night at New Canaan's beautiful Irwin Park — a former grand estate. This version of Twelfth Night is a very humerous production with original songs and music. In fact, it is more like a musical than a play and takes place in 1920's Hawaii. The work is imaginative and the phrases so clearly rendered by the fine acting that one could easily forget that it was written by Shakespeare centuries ago.
In fact, the entire cast is so outstanding that
it held the audience's attention throughout. Reserved seating is under a huge, wing-like tent (good for light rain protection) and the lighting, which often encompasses the canvas ceiling gives the place an unusual glow.… the setting is more intimate, the sound is very clear and parking is not a problem. The entire atmosphere of the place is an enjoyable experience.”
