<\/a>Twelfth Night<\/strong><\/h4>\nRehearsals have reached the \u2018pointy end\u2019 with production looming in two weeks. Our student cast have relished the opportunity to play in the land of Illyria in Shakespeare\u2019s classic comedy \u2013 Twelfth Night.<\/strong><\/p>\nOur director, Mr Colyer, has set the play on an imagined Caribbean Island; a perfect setting for sun, frivolity and music \u2026 lots of music.<\/p>\n
Under a decidedly Latin influence, Illyria becomes a world of sugar-plantation grandees and merchant fortunes, where Orsino’s lovesickness and Olivia’s mourning play out against a backdrop of extraordinary privilege extracted under Spanish colonial rule.<\/p>\n
In this play, love is its own kind of madness, upending order and formality; sudden, irrational and self-deceiving. To reinforce the Caribbean backdrop, the Emma Pask Band, with superb arrangements by Matt Moore, joins us to perform Latin pop hits (Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin and more) that replace Feste’s original musical commentaries with songs of passionate fervour and romantic excess, Living La Vida Loca!<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn Shakespearean English, the first-person pronoun (I, me, my, and mine) is essentially the same as it is now. The second-person pronoun is slightly different. Modern English only uses four pronouns for addressing a person or persons (you, your, yourself, and yours). The Early Modern English used by Shakespeare adds another six words to this list:<\/p>\n
\n- Thou = You<\/li>\n
- Thee = You<\/li>\n
- Ye = You<\/li>\n
- Thy = Your<\/li>\n
- Thyself = Yourself<\/li>\n
- Thine = Yours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
