• Macon State College will

Shakespeare Express in
“Twelfth Night” by William
Shakespeare at 12:15 p.m. in
the Macon State College
Theatre, Macon Campus. In
one of his most popular plays,
Shakespeare creates comedy at
every elevation, from low slap
stick to high irony. Writing at
the height of his powers,
Shakespeare gives us in one
play a feast of language and a
stage full of memorable charac
ters - from the lovesick Orsing
and Viola to the alesick Toby
Belch, from the fop Sir Andrew
Aguecheek to the jerk Malvolio.
Sublime and subversive,
“Twelfth Night” breaks rules
and bends gender to show love
in all its guises and disguises.
