We, that is K & I (M was most emphatically *not* interested), watched Twelfth Night this week. I re-read the book first, which both girls happily listened to, then M disappeared while K & I snuggled up and watched. I'm enjoying 'actor spotting' in these BBC versions and it occurred to me that it's seems somehow wrong that for K Felicity Kendall will be Viola and Robert Hardy will be Sir Toby Belch from Twelfth Night instead of Barbara Good and Siegfried Farnon. Both girls have been enjoying listening to the cd that K found at the library: More Shakespeare without the boring bits, and we'll be asking if they can get the previous one next time we go to the library, as that has Twelfth Night on it.
I'm pretty confident that when we go to the RSC next month, K will be able to follow and enjoy the play, I'm not so sure about M, but we'll see.
