One of Shakespeare’s<br />
best-loved comedies,<br />
full of tricks, traps,<br />
mistaken identities<br />
and a classic<br />
happy ending.<br />
Twelfth Night<br />
by William Shakespeare<br />
Shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria, Viola adopts a male disguise<br />
and enters the service of Duke Orsino, only to find herself<br />
part of an unusual triangle of unrequited love. Meanwhile, in<br />
the household of the Countess Olivia, Sir Toby Belch and his<br />
companions wage a riotous war of wits against her disapproving<br />
steward Malvolio.<br />

Titus<br />
Andronicus<br />
by William Shakespeare<br />
Victorious in his wars against the Goths,<br />
Roman general Titus Andronicus brings<br />
home as his captives their queen, Tamora,<br />
her lover, Aaron, and her three sons.<br />
Ignoring Tamora’s pleas, Titus hands<br />
over her eldest son for sacrifice – thus<br />
setting in motion a relentless cycle of<br />
revenge as horrific as it is grotesque.<br />
Teachers: This early play foreshadows<br />
both King Lear and Romeo and Juliet.<br />
Like Lear, Titus bestows power unwisely,<br />
only to find it used against him. Here too,<br />
families are devastated by an eye-for-aneye<br />
culture of revenge.<br />

Shakespeare’s<br />
Will<br />
by Vern Thiessen<br />
On the eve of William Shakespeare’s<br />
funeral, his widow, Anne Hathaway,<br />
recalls her life with – and without – the<br />
enigmatic poet. As she prepares to<br />
read her husband’s will, she reveals<br />
the enthralling story of a wife and<br />
mother who has made tremendous<br />
sacrifices for love, and who still grieves<br />
over an event of the distant past.<br />
