- One of my favorite Shakespeare plays with an easy to read translation, yes please. I have a BA in English, so reading Shakespeare is easy for me, but this book was a gft. The recipient really enjoyed reading Shakespeare in plain English.
- I am a big fan of Shakespeare whether it be a tragedy or a comedy. And this is one of the best comedies I've ever read. If you have ever seen the play or even just a movie of Twelfth Night you will like this. It is also a good way to introduce Shakespeare to your teenager or child.
- The content is great, but the book arrived in poor condition. Pgs 159-170 are unreadable, and are torn, glued, and taped with black tape (couldn’t at least use transparent?). I need this book for class and now I’m not gonna have access to a chunk of content. Please send me a new one; I’ll be happy to send the new one back when receiving the old one - I need to hold onto this so I can get my assignments done until the new one arrives. Please help me out guys, and I’ll change the review to 5 stars.
- This is Shakespeare! It's awesome!. It is one of his comedies, and it's so good. I highly recommend this. I bought it for a class I took on Shakespeare, and it was such a good introduction to his comedies. Written for the period around Christmas, hence the title Twelfth Night, (or What You Will). This version is a new edition by New Cambridge University Press, and it's lovely. This edition is edited by Elizabeth Story Donno, and its introduction is by Penny Gay. They both do a wonderful job. Buy it. You will not regret it.
- I love, love, love this play!! This translation made Shakespeare so much more funny and enjoyable! Would recommend this to anyone, young or old, for leisure reading, studying, or just trying to get their foot in the door with Shakespeare. It is far less intimidating with the translation.
- My son was in the play for his high school, and this helped in giving him some direction as to what was really being implied. Most schools don't teach Shakespeare and the ones that still do seem to only hit on Romeo and Juliet but only lightly- then show the movie. Strongly suggest NO FEAR for any Shakespeare play your child might be studying (or performing).
- Yes, this is the play, but it's a print on demand, from digireads, who is taking advantage of no copyright on Shakspeare to churn out mediocre editions. So glad let me return it and get the Folger's edition which has actual authority on Shakespeare's plays.
- badly done. I expect a PLAY to be consistent as far as marking the parts consistently instead of haphazardly. To be clearer, when Viola's lines are to be spoken, I expect VIOLA to be the first word, like in every other play book in the world. I am asking for my money back. There is no excuse for this
