Follow on Google News | SL Shakespeare Company’s Twelfth Night, Act 1: The Open-Ended RunLive Shakespearean Theatre Performed by Legendary Virtual Worlds Troupe Now Available Bi-weekly Anywhere With An Internet-Ready Computer!
By: SL Shakespeare Company Shakespeare, Second Life: The virtual worlds performance of Twelfth Night, Act 1 unabridged, live and direct from the first folio returns and will play on indefinitely— Artistic Director Ina Centaur is directing this play with a new cast and a rare vision in Shakespearean productions, “This production attempts to be as true and pure to the play as possible... This is the only one of the Bard’s plays that is not under suspicion from various bad quartos editions, so there might be some insights to be divined if we try to dramatize it based on a close reading—independent of the shackles of any era interpretation.” Although the play is rich with references to Elizabethan England, Centaur has chosen to let more intrinsic elements define the visuals, “Avoiding the extraneous notions of modernity, the play looks like it’s from the ‘generic past’… The visual elements aren’t bound to a particular era or interpretation— Starting in April, the troupe will be trying several possible “Variations,” When asked why the troupe is performing just a single act, Centaur asserts, “We’re doing it in obsessive detail step-by-step, since we plan to perform the play unabridged in a way that’s not only worth your time to see, but may also delight and even enlighten you. It’s a bite-sized chunk of goodness each time. Come see Act 1 to get a glimpse of the SL Shakespeare Company magic before we move onto Act 2 this summer!” The play stars Caliban Jigsaw, Ixmal Supermarine, Kerry Takashi, KeyKey Underwood, Mokey Mokusei, and Sensuality Cordeaux. Premiering March 1, the performances will be held Sundays at 1 PM SLT (GMT-8) and Tuesdays at 6 PM SLT (GMT-8) at the SL Globe Theatre, in the virtual world of Second Life, accessible anywhere in the world with an Internet-ready computer. http://visit.SLshakespeare.com Subtitles will be provided in English, French, German, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
