Twelfth Night (version 2)
William Shakespeare
Read by LibriVox Volunteers





Shakespeare's great festive comedy, probably written and first performed around 1601, follows the adventures of twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated from each other by a shipwreck. Viola, believing her brother dead, disguises herself as a page in order to serve the lovesick Duke Orsino, who has been rejected by the Countess Olivia. The ensemble cast includes a roster of wonderfully comic characters: Olivia's drunken uncle Sir Toby Belch, his foolish friend Sir Andrew Aguecheek, the witty serving woman Maria, the social-climbing steward Malvolio, and the clever, riddling clown Feste.

Reviews





Gabby Wright
Entertaining play and well performed by the readers. The singing by the clown was a highlight! Duke Orcino is very hard to understand if you don't have good speakers or headphones.
Great team work
