Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
The Complete Works of Shakespeare online
Overall Grade: B
This is a little hokey, but better than some of the comedies I've been working my way through. I particularly like the mistaken identity twist that gets one of the main characters arrested. I'm still not sure exactly what happened to the brother, that story line was confusing. In fact, if you are one of the characters in the play, most everything is probably confusing. Twins separated in a shipwreck, a girl dressing up as a boy, multiple suitors falling for the same women and she falling in love with girl dressed up as a boy. The trickery of the lady's maid and the two drunken men is particularly funny since it makes one of the suitors look stark-raving-mad. Teehehe.
