Take a look at local theater listings and you will discover that the
work of the Bard is very much alive throughout the Philadelphia region
during March and April. By coincidence or serendipity, several of the
area’s professional companies are staging their unique versions of
Shakespeare’s comedies this spring. The People’s Light and Theater
Company in Malvern (www.peopleslight.org)
makes sure to include a Shakespearean production in its repertoire
every couple of years, and has found these Elizabethan plays are as
popular with their audiences as more contemporary pieces. This spring’s
staging of “Twelfth Night” (February 28 through April 7), a comedy of
mistaken identities, will be directed by Abigail Adams, the company’s
artistic director. Adams has set the play in a Mediterranean milieu.
“There is a mystical and exotic quality to the play that is well suited
to this region of the world,” explains dramaturg Elizabeth Pool. “The
play is a bittersweet juxtaposition of melancholy and humor that is
ultimately full of romance.”
