Twelfth Night Play

On Sunday March 21st, I saw the play entitled Twelfth Night, here at Hofstra. And although I went into the play with little hopes of finding enjoyment, I was somewhat surprised. Altogether the production was not 100% terrible, and it really helped me gain a better understanding of things that i had previously read. Personally, I had never picked up on the obvious, yet subtle romantic attraction that Orsino had for Cesario while reading the play, but as i watched the play it was defiantly more obvious. I was actually take back a little by this, because i thought it may have been a twist on the play, guess not. There were many enjoyable characters as well in the play such as Sir Toby who was very lively who really amused me. However my only complaint about the play was the strange southern accent that the characters seemed to have, inconsistently at times. From all my knowledge of Shakespeare and his works I don't think he ever wrote "homeboy from the south" type characters.
