Oh, and poor Malvolio. (  ) Gezemice | Mar 8, 2019 |  9. Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare originally performed: 1601 format: 136 page Royal Shakespeare Company edition from 2010 (entire book is 195 pages) editors: Jonathan Bate & Eric Rasmussen acquired: library read: Jan 6 – Feb 3 time reading: 7 hr 43 min, 3.4 min/page rating: 4 The latest play from the little Litsy group I'm following - one act a week, so I tend to spend Sunday morning reading Shakespeare, a pleasant habit. This was good fun, and a lot of silliness. A comedy where Shakespeare pulled out humor in every which way, including endless innuendos, a brilliant and cruel practical joke, a lot of confusion with twins, eyes falling rapturously in love instantly (and then out of it), and a lot of very sharp wit from the fool and the ladies, one disguised as a man. The Fool explains the play best: "Look then to be well edified when the fool delivers the madman." dchaikin | Feb 3, 2019 | Hilarious. I watched a performance of it as well, bafflingly funny.
