Breakneck Twelfth Night

All the Wit, None of the Wait

If you enjoy Shakespeare, you'll enjoy this. If you don't enjoy Shakespeare, you'll still enjoy this. Tim delivers a masterclass in storytelling, distilling Twelfth Night into a sharp, one-hour performance that's both clear and consistently entertaining. His clever editing and engaging narration make the play accessible without losing its heart, and his ability to portray every character distinctly keeps the story easy to follow. The audience was laughing throughout, a testament to both the comedy in the script and Tim's command of it.

Masterfully done!

This is honestly really impressive!

Overstimulating

I felt like I was losing my mind in here.

Not Musical Theater

Well done, but misrepresented.

Astonishing Entertainment with Playful Fun

Does anyone dedicate themselves more to staging one person Shakespeare Fringe than the passionate Maestro himself, Timothy Mooney. For over two decades he has entertained us with his Encyclopedic hold of text and facts of the Bard along with mastering all of the characters. This time it's "Breakneck Twelfth Night" where he offers 13 characters and his own friendly narrator covering three months of time in Illyria, all in one breezy hour. Such a joy to watch Mooney masterfully perform such a daunting endeavor. So much expedition to navigate through and Mooney handles it superbly, fluidly relatable and easy to understand its language. A must see for Shakespeare lovers!

Nobody does condensed, one-man Shakespeare better!

Actually, I’m not sure anyone else does condensed, one-man Shakespeare at all, but be that as it may, this is another strong performance. Tim really knows his material, and does an amazing job of switching characters and roles while delivering a thoroughly entertaining and fluid retelling of the Bard’s work.

Have Some Greatness Thrust Upon You!

Get your Twelfth Night in one clean hour with a cast of lovers, siblings, and buffoons singing, dancing, and playing their talented way through tightly directed scenes stitched together with commentary both insightful, ribald, and snarky. With all of those roles filled by one really talented actor. Some great shows at the Fringe totally surprise you, but my bar for Timothy Mooney is set about as high as it can go, and he still gracefully clears it year after year.

I Knew Him When He Was Moliere

He was great back when and had aged like a fine wine. A great showman that delivers a face paced show that was as promised. He holds his audience. This show should be on your closing list.

Impressive! Would work well as a video essay.

I could've used something like this instead of a 'No Fear Shakespeare' when I was in high school. I did lose track a little bit of what was going on in a few places, but that was fine cause it's the nature of 'What You Will'.

Fast paced Shakespeare

Such a whirlwind performance, not sure how he is able to pulls it off, but HE DOES! Delightful and great fun to watch this wonderful accomplishment!!

I'm a Tim Mooney Groupie

I am always in awe of the sheer talent Tim has. I'm not even a huge fan of The Bard. You don't need to be to enjoy this show. He commands the stage like no other. If you like Shakespeare at all, go see this show.
