Off-Broadway theater company Bedlam will present Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night in rotating repertory with itself: Twelfth Night (or What You Will) and What You Will (or Twelfth Night). The productions, which are described as, "one play, two completely different ways," will be presented at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre beginning March 11. Both productions officially open on March 22.

The casts of both plays will include Edmund Lewis, Andrus Nichols, Eric Tucker, Tom O’Keefe, Susannah Millonzi. The productions will feature costumes by Valerie Bart and lighting design by Les Dickert.

Bedlam is a company committed to the immediacy of the relationship between the actor and the audience. Bedlam creates theater in a flexible, raw space, presenting new writing, contemporary reappraisals of the classics, and small-scale musical theater. Their productions always include the audience. The company believes "that innovative use of space can collapse aesthetic distance and bring the audience into direct contact with the dangers and delicacies of life—inciting laughter and chaos, provoking thought and recreating the thrill of live experience."
