Unfortunately, it seems the schools may be opting for the four hour Bell extravaganza instead of Twelfth Night!
Why???
12th Night is shorter (by almost 2 hrs), its FUNNY, its accessible, it has a GREAT local pro cast, a fabulous director and it is SO much cheaper!
It has the full syllabus text but set in the retro-70's (complete with music) - and the kids are SO into the 70's at the moment.
Any marketing ideas, Jason??
They flocked to Othello and Macbeth - maybe they prefer tragedies after all?
