Twelfth Night
By William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night is an ambiguous mix of celebration and melancholy. It is a complicated tale of requited and unrequited love, in which a lovelorn prince becomes entangled with shipwrecked twins in various disguises, and the antics of those understairs create further chaos.
The play explores the nature of both love and loss in many forms. It addresses questions of identity, and the fluid notion of gender has particular relevance today. As always, the bard demonstrates a compelling insight into human nature.
“O time, thou must untangle this, not I
It is too hard a knot for me t’untie” II.II
