Twelfth Night

We went to a showing at UVA's Culbreth Theater of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

The play was really well done. The one disappointing thing (in general) is that it is
hard to find any Shakespeare play where the actor's dress from the time period.

This one was modernized in dress but not in language. They really did some neat things with
sound and lighting during scene changes.

Of course reading Shakespeare can be hard enough, hearing it can be even harder but I am glad it was the original language, even if it made it a bit hard to follow. (We went to one at a high school production a couple of years ago where they tried to do Shakespeare in modern southern language and southern dress-weird!)

The acting, sets, and sound were exceptionally well done-very professional. Wonderful theater.

So far we have seen (at UVA) The Pirates of Penzance done by the Music Department
and Twelfth Night done by the Drama Department.

Looking forward to more!
