yamamanamaThere's a one page summary comic in the booklet and a list of things people said during production, including "More like Orsin-Emo," "the only man who's ever treated me right is WB Mason," "let's make Antonia a mobster!" "wait, why would she be a lobster?" "isn't Mulan a country?" "is melancholy a food" and "i'm pretty handy with the kazoo" and "I need your pants" and "g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-"
So here's my recap of Twelfth Night, which apparently I didn't post when I saw it on the Common a few years back, and no, I have no idea how Mulan came up and I found out that people in the Philippines, a country whose national cuisine must be based entirely around drunken bar bets and also a holdout for the name Ashley, use bile, tamarind, and chili peppers as a flavoring: Viola and Sebastian find themselves washed up on the coast of Illyria (modern day Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania) separated and believing the other dead, Viola disguises herself as a boy to get a job with Duke Orsino, and the Duke sends her off to woo the now widowed Countess Olivia and everyone's trying to get her married as soon as possible, and Olivia falls in love with the disguised Viola, and Sir Toby Belch convinces Sir Andrew Agueface (that is not a flubbed line that they decided to leave in, it shows up in the original script) that Olivia wants to marry him and Maria writes a fake love letter for the rather puritanical steward Malvolio to read, convincing him that Olivia is in love with him, and he gets locked up because they think he's mad for wearing yellow socks with sock garters, and Antonia is pissed off because Viola had no idea what she's talking about, and Sebastian shows up and Viola marries Orsino and Sebastian marries Olivia and Antonia is left out.
Malvolio points out her C's, her U's 'n' her T's, and thus she makes her great P's. Oh, Shakespeare, you filthy rascal, you.
They wrote 60s style surf music for the lyrics Shakespeare wrote and fight with golf clubs. Feste the Clown wore leopard-print leggings and a black shirt and sang all the songs and has a really good voice. The police wear red hoodies and jean shorts.
I can't find weather stats for Leskoviku or Çorovodë or even Frashër, but I found out that the average January high in Durrës is in the mid-50s Fahrenheit, which is warmer than Boston or Belgrade but not really appropriate for a beach party. It's not set in Argetina or Rand McNally, where, in Winter's Tale, a character exits pursued by a hamburger, and the Zodiac signs are ranked as follows: Deudalaphon, the Benevolent; Igeyorhm, the Martyr; Emmerololth, the Holy Queen; Nabriales, the Majestic; Halmarut, the Arbiter; Emet-selch, the Angel of Truth; Fandaniel, the Protector; Mitron, the Chastiser; Loghrif, the Transcendent; Lahabrea, the Abyssal Celebrant; Ultima, the High Seraph; Pashtarot, the Knight-Star.
The observant would notice three things: I've shuffled them a bit since last time I've posted, the constellation Virgo is represented by Ultima no matter where you are, and that the only thing not corrupt about Donald Trump is his zodiac sign.
Although there's really no indication that it's set in early January in the play. I'm not sure Albania was known for beach parties in the 60s, it was known for communism and reinforced concrete machine gun bunkers (750,000 of them, in fact) and being formerly ruled by a king named Zog.

Burning Question: why would Antonia be a lobster?
