Twelfth Night or What You Will , by William Shakespeare, is in production at
T. Schreiber Studio October 9th through November 23, 2008.
Shipwrecked on a strange shore. Lost your twin brother in the storm. A woman in a man's world. What do you do? Why, dress in men's clothing, fall in love with the local duke, and woo his lady, of course! T. Schreiber Studio's steampunk-influenced production of Twelfth Night, or What You Will, is a fun-filled frolic filled with disguises, misunderstandings, and yellow, cross-cut garters, wonderfully augmented by the music of Cloud Cult, a rapidly rising band that the NY Times has named a "best pick."

"...a distinctive ambience
for the piece, a manifestation of the play's admiring celebration of artistic inventiveness;
it's a remarkable achievement."
- NYTheatre.com
"...a talented crew, bringing sense and sensibility to Shakespeare's comedy ... makes for a show abounding in freshness and high spirits."
- Backstage
"With vigor, excitement, and triumph, T. Schreiber Studios certainly proves that Shakespeare still appeals to young audiences and new interpretations."
-Fab Marquee
T. Schreiber's version has the advantage of clarity: every actor understands the language, and the complexity of themes it carries. This production is wickedly funny, deeply entertaining and unusually lucid.
- OffOffOff.com
Everything here is perfectly in place — the acting, direction, design, and 'Idea.' The steampunk elements add depth to the characters and setting without distracting from the play itself.
