Antonio, or What I Would, takes a firmly gay stance on Shakespeare’s favorite pirate. It’s the closing performance of a somewhat successful outdoor production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The actor playing Antonio asks himself, “what happened here” as he finds the queerness of both his character and his own identity relegated to stage left. This wild romp through history, fantasy, swashbuckling, and booty is a love letter to Shakespeare's most famous Gay Pirate...or maybe more of a sext. Written by Brenna Geffers and Shayne David Cameris, performed by Shayne David Cameris with Jake Blouch’s music performed by Connor Armbruster, Antonio, or What I Would was developed at the Play On Labs with Troy Foundry Theatre in 2024.
