Dice-Keeper 12th Night-Delightfully Creative Shakespeare

Throwing the dice to determine who played each role was the least off-beat thing about this enchantingly funny production.

I have to confess, unlike many people I know, that I love updated productions of the classics, but only if the social dynamics and plot fit with the concept. Dacha Theatre’s production of Dice Keeper-12th Night, more than managed to do this, while presenting one of the most creative, spontaneous and enjoyable shows I have EVER seen. It was truly beguiling and by chance had a certain historical authenticity to the casting. i.e. There really was a male actor playing a female character, who has to pretend to be a man in the script.
