Sinossi
È l’ultima commedia giocosa, a tratti autenticamente farsesca, di Shakespeare, prima della stagione delle grandi tragedie e delle commedie nere. Composta intorno al 1600, ruota intorno al naufragio in Illiria dei gemelli Viola e Sebastiano e alle avventure scaturite dal travestimento maschile della fanciulla che, sotto il nome di Cesario, diventa paggio del duca Orsino e se ne innamora: è lei la vera protagonista della pièce, con la sua capacità di cogliere l’occasione e di affidarsi senza timori al caso e alla fortuna. Elegante e piena di grazia, la commedia trascina lo spettatore nella sua atmosfera magica e incantata in cui i contrasti più feroci si compongono armoniosamente. Eppure la malinconia di Orsino, il lutto della austera nobildonna Olivia e la beffa subita da Malvolio, suo triste e presuntuoso servitore al quale viene fatto credere di essere amato dalla padrona, anticipano la feroce fustigazione dei vizi umani che caratterizzerà lo Shakespeare più maturo, lasciando presagire una imminente “età dell’ansia”: il sogno è finito e l’uomo deve tornare a fare i conti con la bufera della realtà.

Twins: Freaky or Fun? Twelfth Night is Shakespeare's answer to that age-old question. While I was listening to this, I had no idea that Viola & Sebastian were twins. As far as I knew, they were just siblings. But, apparently, they were (<--if I had read the blurb, I would have known this). And apparent Leggi tutto
This is my favorite ridiculous show and so I'm beginning this with a chart: pink: marriage blue: crush on green: flirts with So, yeah, this is a really really funny play, and a play with a lot of good puns, etc etc etc, and it is for that reason that it is entertaining. But this show is comp
Score one for androgyny and desire. Twelfth Night is like if She’s The Man with Amanda Bynes started off with a shipwreck and instead of being a soccer captain named Duke, Channing Tatum was an actual damn Duke. Just kidding, of course the film is a modern retelling of the Big Bad Bard’s romantic com Leggi tutto
The treatment of Malvolio is a little too cruel, Belch and Aguecheek are a little too coarse, and the resolution is a little too abrupt, and so this excellent Shakespearean comedy falls a little short of perfection. Still, the poetry about music and the songs themselves are wonderful, Viola and Orsi Leggi tutto

When I was in college a professor once told me this was one of Shakespeare's least interesting and a "skip-able" play. That statement boggled my mind. I know this is an extremely unpopular opinion, but it's honestly my favorite of his plays. Why does this one work so well for me? First off, I think
