Fiasco Theater offers a Twelfth Night for theatergoers who’ve never seen Twelfth Night or Fiasco Theater before.
For almost a decade, the ensemble company has been praised for its bare-bones productions of Shakespeare (and one Sondheim) that have been both intelligible and inventive. At CSC, they are delivering the Bard’s Christmas season comedy of mistaken identity with their customary clarity, but without that extra spark that characterized their Cymbelline or Into The Woods.

I haven’t seen a production of “12th Night” since the last time I was IN it (an outdoor production). I think it plays better indoors, could’ve been more bawdy, but a fine group. I’ve seen the Fiascoes before and they do the Bard right.
