Description

Twelfth Night is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays in the modern theatre, and this edition places particular emphasis on its theatrical qualities throughout. Peopled with lovers misled either by disguises or their own natures, it combines lyrical melancholy with broad comedy.

The introduction analyses its many views of love and the juxtaposition of joy and melancholy, while the detailed commentary pays particular attention to its linguistic subtleties.

Music is particularly important in Twelfth Night, and this is the only modern edition to offer material for all the music required in a performance. James Walker has re-edited the existing music from the original sources, and where noe exists has composed settings compatible with the surviving originals.

I actually will not much say about it. A woman played a man. It is mostly comedy like but with some strange elements. I just read it in one flow which is always a good sign. And common': it's Shakespeare. What else you need? Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. If music be the food of love, play on.
