Twelfth Night: The Drinking Game, directed by Richard Lovejoy, is a unique, interactive production focusing on the play’s themes of stasis confronting inevitable change, morality colliding with hedonism, and sexuality unveiling its ambiguities. Through the drinking game, the audience members literally join in the festivities, and raise a glass when cued by the play’s actions. The actors sit with, drink with, and directly engage the spectators as they perform the bard’s tale of shipwrecked twins lost in a strange world. Twelfth Night: The Drinking Game allows the audience to experience Shakespeare’s comedy like raucous comedy like never before. The limited engagement runs Fridays and Saturdays in September at One-Eyed Jack’s, one of New Orlean’s premier music venues. Tickets are $7, cash at the door only. A portion of the door proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
Saturday, September 8th’s performance will be PAY WHAT YOU WILL.
