Analyzing Drama You read one of Shakespeare's plays in this unit: Twelfth Night. For this activity, you
will reread Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V.
Part A
Locate two different performances of the scene online. When you search the Internet,
include the act and scene in your search terms - you want to be sure that you get the
correct scene!
Which two versions did you choose? Include the URLs of your sources,
URL Source 1:
URL Source 2:
Part B
Now compare and contrast the techniques in the two theatrical versions that you
watched. In the table below, describe the similarities and differences between the two
versions for each element of the performance. Note how the techniques enhance or alter
the audience's experience and what meanings (shades of characterization, connotations
of words, etc.) become clearer as you watch the two presentations.
