“If music be the food of love, play on,” says Orsino in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, a local production of which we praised in 2007 for its direction, musical numbers and actors—one of whom happens to be the subject of this week’s cover story. Local thespian Clinton Johnston is directing the Four County Players in Othello for the next few weeks, giving us another reason to highlight his talents. And speaking of talent, with the closing of Is last week, we were reminded of Gravity Lounge, another venue that closed earlier this year. Join us next week for another backstage look at C-VILLE’s history.
Paging through the archives
“Though Clinton Johnston and Eamon Hyland are a brilliant pair as Olivia’s ‘drunkle,’ Sir Toby Belch and his protegé, Sir Andrew Aguecheek (by way of Jaleel White’s ‘Steve Urkle’), Allen Van Houzen’s turn as Feste the Fool binds the three, through an unflinchingly giddy, quick-tongued delivery of even quicker puns.”
