12th NIGHTed, by ptmc, is a raucous update of Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT. It features Keith Herron & Anne Pasquale, affectionately known in New York theatre circles as "the Lunts of Little Italy."
On the 12th night of Christmas, your true love brings to me, many kinds of pasta, a butler braying, and one golden ring. Updated to a gay-friendly swinging 60's Little Italy, this retelling of Shakespeare's comedy is shot out of a confetti cannon of sexual confusion, with double sets of twins & families trying to stick or get back together.
Mr. Herron will play a trifecta of roles, Orson and Antonio Argento, orphaned twin brothers, plus Mel Volio, butler to Olivia Ruttate Earnrighto of the Palazzo Earnrighto (played by Ms. Pasquale). 12th NIGHTed cast also includes: Alyssa Abraham, Jonathan Barker, Alexandra Bonesho,* David Palmer Brown,* and Lorenzo Lucchetti. Blaine Mizer will understudy numerous roles.
