Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare (English) Paperback Book

Description: Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, Alison Carey "This translation modernizes the language of this comedy and takes the archaic humor and renews it for a contemporary audience"-- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Alison Carey brings the confusion and mischief of Shakespeares comedy into the twenty-first century. Shakespeares Twelfth Night centers on power and love. One of the most perennially produced of Shakespeares comedies, it talks about shipwrecked twins, gender-bending romance, and a bumper crop of fools, from the wise to the ridiculous. Modernizing the language of the play, Alison Careys translation revives the joy of this comedy, taking the archaic humor and renewing it for a contemporary audience. This translation of Twelfth Night was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festivals Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeares verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era. Author Biography Alison Carey is a playwright, environmental activist, and cofounder of the community-based Cornerstone Theater Company. She directs Oregon Shakespeare Festivals American Revolutions project to commission new plays about moments of change in US history, including Lynn Nottages Sweat and Robert Schenkkans All the Way.
