Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a lovely, immensely entertaining, and -- when provocatively mounted -- haunting play. Yet it is too often misused as an occasion for slapstick comedy. Even many of the best productions realize only a fraction of its sublimity. The Book of "Twelfth Night, or What You Will" Musings on Shakespeare's Most Wonderful (and Erotic) Play explores the play's arresting ambiguities, with an emphasis on the sexual. It's for anyone who loves this rhapsodic play, and especially for the new Twelfth Night, or What You Will audience that has greater expectations of theater companies mounting one of the world's strangest comedies. About the Author A 2003 graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Wayne Myers was the features editor for the Oneida Daily Dispatch in upstate New York, where he reviewed theater, opera, films, and art exhibitions from 2003 to 2008. His work has won a handful of first-place awards in the New York State Associated Press Association, Suburban Newspapers of America, and Syracuse Press Club writing contests. Endorsements "It is what every book about our greatest writer should be: fun, fascinating, and filled with delights. Myers's analysis is exhaustively researched but effervescently revealed; each trim chapter is a page-turner, compelling the reader to read on. This is a must-have for anyone who loves Shakespeare, but also anyone who doesn't 'get' Shakespeare. After reading Myers's book, you won't be able to get enough." -- John Christian Plummer, director, 2008 Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival production of Twelfth Night, or What You Will "I wish there were more books like this!" -- Shakespeare Geek Blog

Named for the twelfth night after Christmas, the end of the Christmas season, Twelfth Night plays with love and power. The Countess Olivia, a woman with her own household, attracts Duke (or Count) Orsino. Two other would-be suitors are her pretentious steward, Malvolio, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Onto this scene arrive the twins Viola and Sebastian; caught in a shipwreck, each thinks the other has drowned. Viola disguises herself as a male page and enters Orsino's service. Orsino sends her as his envoy to Olivia—only to have Olivia fall in love with the messenger. The play complicates, then wonderfully untangles, these relationships.

Twelfth Night has seldom been off the stage since Shakespeare’s day. It has been performed for its romantic high comedy and its boisterous low comedy; with an emphasis on farce or on autumnal melancholy; as straightforward celebration of heterosexual love and marriage or as exploration of the complexity of gender. David Carnegie and Mark Houlahan’s introduction to the play provides a lively discussion of the play’s performance history and encourages readers to think about stagecraft and the play as a performance text, while the historical appendices provide materials that illuminate different thematic elements of the play. Extended notes interleaved throughout the play present relevant illustrations and expand on mythological, historical, and religious references in the play. The accompanying online text will offer additional commentary on staging alternatives and more extensive visual materials. A collaboration between Broadview Press and the Internet Shakespeare Editions project at the University of Victoria, the editions developed for this series have been comprehensively annotated and draw on the authoritative texts newly edited for the ISE. This innovative series allows readers to access extensive and reliable online resources linked to the print edition.
