This is a play script for William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, which has been rewritten for students from Year 5 to Year 8. The script now also comes with a PDF teacher presentation to help you introduce the play and the characters to your students.

William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, shipwrecked in Illyria and separated from her twin brother, Sebastian. Disguised as a boy named “Cesario,” Viola serves Duke Orsino - who loves Lady Olivia. But Olivia falls for Cesario, Cesario secretly loves Orsino, and a hilarious prank tricks the proud steward Malvolio into wearing yellow stockings and smiling at everything! In the end, the twins are reunited, true love is revealed, and everyone (well… almost everyone) is happy.
