Twelfth Night - What You Will is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1601–02 as a Twelfth Night's entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play expanded on the musical interludes and riotous disorder expected of the occasion,[1] with plot elements drawn from the short story "Of Apollonius and Silla" by Barnabe Rich, based on a story by Matteo Bandello. The first recorded performance was on 2 February 1602, at Candlemas, the formal end of Christmastide in the year's calendar. The play was not published until its inclusion in the 1623 First Folio. : Wikipediea

 Come on down to Melville Theatre this month to witness this years most hilarious comedy. Mistaken Identities, Hopeless Romantics, Drunkenness and Foolishness, and all within the incredible word-smith genius that is William Shakespeare.
