Twelfth Night, or What You Will at Blackfriars Playhouse through 5/3

Shakespeare’s most tangled love triangle comes to the stage with Twelfth Night, or What You Will. In a narrative where nothing is quite as it seems, shipwrecked noblewoman Viola dons drag and finds herself at the center of amorous shenanigans. Mistaken identities, wild parties, forged love letters, and yellow stockings feature prominently in this performance, which is set within a retro-futuristic clockpunk aesthetic. Director Nana Dakin notes, the play asks audiences, “How can we learn to see ourselves and others more honestly? How can grief and longing transform into fulfillment and joy?” $35–75, 7:30pm. Blackfriars Playhouse, 10 S. Market St., Staunton. americanshakespearecenter.com
