Twelfth Night at Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET)

This is rootin' tootin' Wild Bill Shakespeare at his cowboy best. Wait ... what? Did the Bard write westerns that we don't know about? Not exactly -- but Maryland Ensemble Theatre has put together the next best thing. Their production of Twelfth Night, Shakespeare's gender-bending comedy of unrequited love and romantic mischief, takes the familiar story and transports it to the Old West. The Town Marshal loves the Hotel/Saloon owner, but she'll have none of him. She loves one of the Marshal's men, but he's a she and in love with the Marshal. Confused? Well, so are they. Come watch them sort it all out with fistfights and gunfights in the classic language of Shakespeare.
