Twelfth Night is an audio voyage of discovery that not only presents the unabridged play as a powerful full-cast drama twice (with and without commentary) it also takes listeners back in time to EXPERIENCE the world in which Shakespeare lived and worked; to understand how and why his legacy is so important, so innovative and so influential and popular today.

Each project includes class discussion topics, research tasks, writing exercises, drama activities, essay and coursework suggestions, supported by worksheets, maps, diagrams, charts, timelines and text excerpts.
