Make a 'Night’ of it with Prenzie Players
By Ruby Nancy | Thursday, October 27, 2005

Billed as “What You Will” and subtitled “Twelfth Night” — the opposite of the way it usually is written — the Prenzie Players production of this Shakespeare comedy could easily exist with either title alone.

The wit of the words used is really impressive, of course, but the collective talent and comprehension required to successfully stage this show (which these Players have in spades) make it easy for me to promise that you’ll love it, no matter what it is called.

In the Prenzie Players’ hugely entertaining production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night: Or, What You Will, there’s an encounter so heart-stoppingly strong that it might be the single most effective stage moment I’ve witnessed all year. In it, Count Orsino (Jeff DeLeon), achingly in love with the Countess Olivia (the spirited, entrancing Denise Yoder), tries to soothe his spirits with a song performed by the ribald clown Feste (Cait Bodenbender). Sitting next to the count is Viola (Linnea Ridolfi) – in male disguise as his servant, Cesario – who is, herself, falling in love with Orsino. As Feste performs, Viola puts a consoling hand on Orsino’s shoulder, which he grasps with brotherly affection.
