Berko review: TWELFTH NIGHT @GLT
by Roy Berko 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: TWELFTH NIGHT gets a pleasing production at GLT. It could have been enhanced by broader farce and more joyous attitude. As might be said of the New Hampshire Board of Education that banned the play, “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” (AS YOU LIKE IT)* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
