*2 THE TWELFTH NIGHT OF A LIFETIME



"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them"


            William Shakespeare is an author who loves to create plays which evolves around mistaken identity. Twelfth Night is a play of a very complicated affair. An aristocratic lady named Viola survived a shipwreck incident. Thinking that her brother is already dead, she decided to look for a job with the help of a good captain.Dressed as a man, Viola, used the name Cesario, and offered herself in the service of the Duke of Illyria, Orsino. Orsino longs for the love of a neighboring countess, Olivia , who as she is in mourning for the death of her brother, repels his courtship.In a wild play of fate, Olivia fell in love with Cesario who is actually Viola. And Viola is in love with Orsino who is really in love with Olivia. Very very complicated indeed.

          Too see such a wonderful play come to life is a one of a kind experience. No matter how complicated the story is, still it managed to push through our hearts. With the effective acting of all the actors, and the hardworking efforts of the staffs, the play made us very proud of being an AB ENGLISH student. I salute them all for making us laugh and be inlove while watching the play. My words are not enough to describe that marvelous moment, but i tell you, if you have watched it you,d leave the venue wanting more.

DIGGING MY SOUL: GRAVEDIGGERS

             "Another play again?" that's the first three words which came in to my mind upon seeing the posters posted in the walls. I mean, I still have not recovered from the play entitled "TWELFTH NIGHT". Upon recognizing the title and observing the poster, i felt something creepy. I said to myself "Oh my, i think we have something scary in here."

              I am really a scared y cat. I do shout out of something which is not really horrifying, that's why i need second thoughts for me to decide if I should watch it. I decided to do so . Even if I have to watch it with closed eyes. The play started with me , not even recognizing who my seatmate is. My mind is full of things that I imagine to happen in the play. I was busy guessing the story plot I guess. The venue was quiet and I am in a paranoid moment. I'm in a paranoia that maybe something will surprise us out of the quietness.
Throughout the play, most of the conversations were not so clear. Maybe it's because of their pronuciation. That distracted me. It gives me the urge to say "what did they say?" to my stranger seatmate.
       
             Somehow, I did enjoy it . It made me look forward for another play (maybe another free one) inside the school. They all did a magnificent job
