We'll break up into different groups; each group will have a different activity.
1. Turn to the beginning list of characters and consider each character in relation to Malvolio. What would be Malvolio's preferred revenge on each? (4 people)
2. There are two patterns to Shakespeare's comedies: Escape from civilization to the green world or invasion of a world by the "other." Which one is Twelfth Night? (4 people)
3. Viola is very quiet at the end. What are we to make of that? And, let's just say that Shakespeare had chosen her for the final epilogue. What would she have to say? (3 people)
4. Cast the lovers: Orsino, Viola, Olivia, Sebastian, Maria and Toby. First, construct a profile on each character (list information known and supposed). Second, who are you going to cast (can be superstars, local people, your fellow classmates) in each part and why? (3 people)
5. Recap the entire play in 3-minutes. That's right, write a 3-minute Twelfth Night. And be ready to prepare it. (4 people)
