"...All of the redundant conceits lacquered onto the 2008 version have been retained, and they are even more intrusive now. The practice, for instance, of dropping rose petals onto any character in the throes of a sexual swoon feels like cartoonish window dressing; it fails to illuminate any of the ideas about love and sexual identity with which Shakespeare is playing. "Twelfth Night" isn't so much an exploration of momentary passions as the deeper mysteries of attraction: What are the ineffable spiritual qualities in Viola that manage to captivate both an Orsino and an Olivia?"

The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Free-For-All Twelfth Night is Shakespeare as seen through rose-petal colored glasses, as evanescent as a summer evening, goofy, cartoonish, foolish and sweet – in short, a comedy, designed to make us giggle and snort, and thereafter go home larkishly happy. It works, too.
