The Opalescent World of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (5 Classes in FEB)

THE OPALESCENT WORLD OF SHAKESPEARE’S TWELFTH NIGHT

Discover the joys of one of Shakespeare’s most successful comedies, Twelfth Night, or What You Will. The only play with two tantalizing titles suggests the important role an audience takes in the production. Learn how to be a good audience for this most “opalescent” play. In five sessions we will explore the theatrical qualities that have made this play a playable delight since February 2, 1601 right up through the Guthrie’s last live performance this past year.
