Twelfth Night

Today is Epiphany, also known as Twelfth Night, and no self-respecting bluestocking can resist a little Shakespearean fun on this day — and so here is a photograph from a production of, of course, "Twelfth Night".

This one is from a 1979 Royal Shakespeare Company production, with Kate Nicholls, on the left, as Olivia, Jane Downs in the center as Maria, and John Woodvine as Malvolio with some truly, er, impressive cross-gartering.

    How nice to have you back! I thoroughly enjoyed following your EZ projects before you took a respite – a well deserved one, I might add!
    I’m absolutely in love with the doll house you made! My eye always goes straight to the small details and this project has many charming ones! What an accomplishment – congratulations on creating an heirloom that will be enjoyed for generations to come!
    Wishing you peace for your soul and love for your heart in the new year ahead!

    My favorite Shakespear play! Thanks for sharing the picture. The yellow cross-gartered stockings and the shockeed responses had me chuckling. 🙂
