So many thoughts about the play. So many good ways to Queer it. Would love to see it done with a queer twist on it!
I really loved digging deep into research about this play as well as getting dissect and preform scenes from it. :)

I struggled connecting to this one. Too many love triangles, similar names (Viola, Olivia) and the plot was just difficult to follow along what was happening. Maybe seeing it on stage would help. I might seek it out on YouTube. It’s hard to remember while reading it that Viola is dressed up as the male character Cesario throughout the whole play.

This probably deserves a re-read at some point.

Wonderful read, my first Shakespeare comedy and I really enjoyed it. I listened to an audio recording of this read and the players did an excellent job of creating the mood and the theme of the play. I am beginning to realize the passion people of the time felt about their surroundings, romances, conduct, things that effected their very lives.
