Show Notes

    What happens when a young woman is shipwrecked in a strange land and forced to impersonate a man? Obviously she ends up in the middle of a love triangle. From the mind of William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night is full of mistaken identity, pranks, gender confusion, and tragedy.

    Is this play a comedic genius, or secretly a drama? There is so much to uncover between these pages. In this episode Eric and Romi discuss the differences between the live-recorded Globe Stage comedic production (with a traditional all-male cast), and the 1996 dramatic adaptation. Find out what changed, as well as some of the social ramifications.
