convey the emotion and meaning, confusion and humor of this popular
play. When twins Sebastian and Viola are shipwrecked and separated
off the coast of Illyria, each believes the other is dead. Viola
disguises herself as a boy, becomes a page of Duke Orsinio, and

　　Product De*ion 
　　Edited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, Professor of
English, University of Sussex The gentle melancholy and lyrical
atmosphere of Twelfth Night have long made the play a favourite
with Shakespearian audiences. The plot revolves around mistaken
identities and unrequited love, but is further enlivened by a comic
sub-plot of considerable accomplishment. In it, Sir Toby Belch and
his companion outwit the pretentious Malvolio, who despite
suffering their most outrageous and insulting practical jokes,
emerges as an almost noble figure.

Hewas one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant ofsome standing in his community. William probably went to the King’sNew School in Stratford, but he had no university education. InNovember 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway,eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child,Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( whowould die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and alreadyknown as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referredto him as “an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers.”Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of thesuccessful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (later underJames I, called the King’s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain’s Menbuilt and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the ThamesRiver. Here many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed by the mostfamous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe,and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had ahand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The TwoNoble Kinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus andAdonis and The Rape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets werepublished, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and moretime to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing suchplays as The Tempest and Henry VII until about 1613.He died on April 23 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church,Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published duringhis life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, JohnHeminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection nowcalled the First Folio.
