(11+1)th Nite

A play, which I always dreamt of watching. Every time I got hooked up with things that hidden me to go for it. This time despite of dilemma in between going back hometown or staying to watch a play, I decided to go with it at last. This play is called as 11+1 nite, a twisted tale based on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It is a project under their English Literature Class, but they also put this project as charity based.

Imagine with a RM5, you able to watch a play and your RM5 is going to be donated to Taman Megah Handicapped and Disable Children Home. They are not professional, yet they don't have an elegant stage decoration, but their spirit and enthusiasm in acting impact the audience have a satisfactory night.

The theme of the play is comedy, audience can't stop laughing especially the appearance of Orsino, Duke of Illyria, also a character that fall in love into Olivia. I assumed that he was the most funniest character in the play, because of his facial expression and gesture.

Although is a twisted tale, however the story still catch the main element of twelfth night. Olivia is girl induces rival and jealousy among man. Olivia love Cesario (who is Viola who pretended to be a guy); Andrew are triggered to challenge Viola for Olivia.

Olivia's servant Malvolio, was set by Toby, Maria and others. They purposed play on him and claimed that he was possessed. Toby is another important person in the play. He appeared to be a drunker all the time, and be the noisemaker for the whole play. Haha.

On the other hand, Viola has a twin sister, who lost after the shipwreck. Her name is Sebastian who was rescued by Antonio. She mistakenly as Viola, and at last Viola and Sebastian able to reunited.

More details about the story, can refer to Twelth Night

Overall, I was said they really did a good job. The expressiveness of character is all what we wanna see in the play. They probe the audience to laugh and laugh..perhaps if added in more love emotion element inside, will able to create more touching moment for the audience to remember.
