Grade 9Up-William Shakespeare's comedy of disguised and deceptive love isentertainingly brought to listeners on these high-qualityaudiocassettes. Using the complete text from the New CambridgeShakespeare text, the production presents a full cast ofaccomplished Shakespearean actors and actresses who skillfullyconvey the emotion and meaning, confusion and humor of this popularplay. When twins Sebastian and Viola are shipwrecked and separatedoff the coast of Illyria, each believes the other is dead. Violadisguises herself as a boy, becomes a page of Duke Orsinio, andfalls in love with him. The Duke is hopelessly in love with Olivia,but she is in the process of mourning her brother's death andbecomes infatuated with Viola as she/he delivers messages for theDuke.

From School Library Journal Grade 9
Up-William Shakespeare's comedy of disguised and deceptive love is
entertainingly brought to listeners on these high-quality
audiocassettes. Using the complete text from the New Cambridge
Shakespeare text, the production presents a full cast of
accomplished Shakespearean actors and actresses who skillfully
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
falls in love with him. The Duke is hopelessly in love with Olivia,
but she is in the process of mourning her brother's death and
becomes infatuated with Viola as she/he delivers messages for the
Duke. When Sebastian shows up, Olivia confuses him with the Duke's
page (Olivia) and marries the astonished young man. All is cleared
up eventually when Viola and Sebatian meet and recognize each
other. In the midst of all of this romantic confusion, servants and
family members provide comic relief with their pompous,
pretentious, and sometimes inebriated behavior. Early English music
and excellent sound effects are sparingly included, yet add greatly
to this performance. Reading along with the text is optional as the
production moves at an easy-to-follow pace, and characterizations
are clear and captivating. A booklet with background and a synopsis
of the play, photos and de*ions of each cast member, and
starting points for each scene on the proper tape side is a useful
addition. For its entertainment value or as a supplement to the
curriculum, this excellent audioplay is highly recommended.

`The commentary on Twelfth Night is alive with the editors' feeling

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.
