Hi Jae Yeon!

I was also interesting in the excessive amounts of theatricality–especially after seeing the Globe’s production last night. In particular, I was interested in the role that music plays in Twelfth Night. To me, the amount of singing also indicates another performative aspect of the play as music is another form of representation or expressive mode. Why does music open the show? What do the musical interludes accomplish? Why is the fool or clown the one playing music?
