A note from the author: I use this scheme of work with my high ability Year 7 class, as not only does it offer a historical perspective on theatre, but it also allows for complex exploration into characters, staging types, language and stage combat.

Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, Adapted with 'Illyrian Elysium' extra 20 'God/Goddess’ Roles!

Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, Adapted with 'Illyrian Elysium' extra 20 'God/Goddess’ Roles!

(0)
A note from the Author: I have adapted the comic master piece ‘Twelfth Night’ into a school production with an additional 20 Gods/Goddesses, 3 servants of Olivia, and 6 extra Feste’s. My additional play ‘Illyrian Elysium’ tells the story of the 20 Gods/Goddesses above Illyria who cause havoc down below for the mortals, which lead to the story of Twelfth Night unfolding. Illyrian weaves effortless between Shakespeare’s scenes and adds depth and explanation for younger audience members. New characters include ‘Love’, ‘Silence’, ‘Music’, ‘Revenge’, ‘Harmony’, ‘Fire’… Please note that the ‘Goddess’ parts may be exchanged for ‘Gods’ in a mixed school setting. Twelfth Night Brief Synopsis Viola has been shipwrecked in a violent storm off the coast of Illyria; in the process she has lost her twin brother, Sebastian. She disguises herself as a boy and assumes the name Cesario for protection. Thus disguised, Viola comes into the service of Orsino, the Duke of Illyria. Orsino is having little luck courting the Countess Olivia, who is in mourning for the deaths of her father and brother. Orsino sends Viola to Olivia’s court with love letters, and when she arrives, Olivia becomes intrigued by the impudent young “boy,” and contrives to get “Cesario” to return by sending her butler, Malvolio, after her with one of Olivia’s rings. Viola realizes to her dismay that Olivia has fallen for her Cesario rather than Duke Orsino — this is further complicated by the fact that Viola has started to fall herself for Orsino. Elsewhere, Sebastian (Viola’s twin, presumed dead) comes ashore in Illyria thinking that Viola has drowned in the shipwreck. His devoted and loving friend, Antonio, rescued him from the surf, and continues to aid him—at some risk to himself, as Antonio fought against the Duke at one time. Meanwhile, in Olivia’s court, Sir Toby Belch (her uncle) has hoodwinked a foppish Sir Andrew Aguecheek into supporting him (and giving him money) by convincing him that he could be a suitor to Olivia. There is also a running feud between Malvolio and Belch, and with the help of Maria (Olivia’s cook), and the band of Feste Fools, Belch plots to make a buffoon of the butler. Maria writes a love letter to Malvolio that will make him think Olivia has fallen for him…And thus begins the realm of discord descending upon Illyria…
