Reaction to the Twelfth Night play

I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts of the Twelfth Night play with the rest of you e-bloggers. Ill get right to the point. I thought the play was OK at best. I noticed a lot of the actors were sort of over doing their roles. Sir Toby was probably my favorite character along with Malvolio. I noticed that Sir Toby and Sir Andrew always seemed like they were drunk off of some sort of potion. Malvolio had this certain way of walking that made him look as thought he were actually important. It was funny how only half of the actors had this thick southern type of accent. I'm not sure if it was meant to be that way of it was done by accident. Another thing that surprised my in the play was how Orsino treated Cesario. It seemed as though Orsino was attracted to Cesario before he knew that Cesario was actually Viola, a woman. At one point Viola was sitting down next to Orsino while he rubbed her shoulders and, from where I was sitting, even gently ran his finger across her cheek. I never noticed anything like this in the book so it definitely stood out to me.
The setting was nice. It gave a sort of southern plantation feeling because of the tree grass hanging from the banisters. It was a fun experience although it did run a little long for my taste. It was definitely interesting to see the small differences and similarities from the book we read in class.
