Viola washes up on the shores of the bewildering land of Illyria after losing her twin brother in a shipwreck. But what is Illyria exactly? In Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night’s 18-show run, no two Illyrias are the same… and no two Violas for that matter.
Dacha returns with the next iteration of our most audacious original format: Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night. In the Dice series, a small ensemble of actors memorizes the entire script of a Shakespeare show and the roles are randomized at the start of each performance. This year, we’ve added a brand new wrinkle - the Dice Keeper. The Dice Keeper changes the directorial concept for each performance with no warning to the cast. Has he set the show in the Wild West or has he replaced all the costumes with hospital scrubs?
Watch our virtuosic ensemble face the Dice Keeper’s challenges, all while attempting to tell the full story of the play! No two casts are the same, and no two performances are remotely alike.
Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night is a playful send-up of directors with over-imaginative interpretations of Shakespeare, and a love letter to all the actors, designers and audiences who have endured their whims. Most importantly, with each new concept the Dice Keeper is convinced that this is the best way to tell the story of Twelfth Night, and who knows, by the end of the show you may just agree with him.
March 31 – April 22
at Base: Experimental Arts + Space
6520 5th Ave S #122nd,
Seattle, WA 98108
Please note that the Dice ensemble has 9 members, but only 7 are in any given show. If you're hoping to see a specific performer, please check the performer schedule.
