Twelfth Night - A User's Guide (Paperback, 1st Limelight ed)

With the same spirit, perception and clarity that distinguished his Hamlet: A User's Guide, Michael Pennington here tackles one of Shakespeare's best loved and most frequently performed comedies. Over his 30-year stage career he has directed three different productions of Twelfth Night. Drawing on both his inside knowledge of the play and his lifelong experience as a shakespearean actor, Michael Pennington takes the reader through Twelfth Night scene by detailed scene. As he writes, the play opens up under his guidance and we see it in a new and brilliant light. Themes, connections, characters, individual lines are all revealed in sharp and telling focus.

This serious yet lively book offers an intensely practical account of the way Twelfth Night actually works on stage. It will be of immense value to teachers, students, actors and directors, as well as to anyone who wants to better understand and appreciate the riches of a classic comedy.
