Description
Twelfth Night is a rich and lyrical comedy of mistaken identity, exploring the complexities of love, desire, and deception. When Viola disguises herself as a man to serve the Duke of Illyria, she finds herself at the centre of a tangled web of relationships and affections. As she navigates this treacherous landscape, she must confront the blurred lines between truth and illusion, and the devastating consequences of her own deception. This Penguin Shakespeare edition features an introduction by Michael Dobson, providing valuable context for the play's themes and historical context. With its unique blend of wit, wordplay, and emotional depth, Twelfth Night remains a captivating and thought-provoking work that continues to enthrall audiences today. The play is accompanied by a range of supplementary materials, including a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, and an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen.
