KlappentextAlison Carey brings the confusion and mischief of Shakespeare´s comedy into the twenty-first century. Shakespeare´s Twelfth Night centers on power and love. One of the most perennially produced of Shakespeare´s comedies, it talks about shipwrecked twins, gender-bending romance, and a bumper crop of fools, from the wise to the ridiculous. Modernizing the language of the play, Alison Carey´s translation revives the joy of this comedy, taking the archaic humor and renewing it for a contemporary audience. This translation of Twelfth Night was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival´s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of The Bard in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare´s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.
