Twelfth Night |
October 2003 at Urban Stages |
Written by William Shakespeare • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
|
|
| If Musicke be the food of Loue, play on,/Giue me excesse of it: that surfetting,/The appetite may sicken, and so dye. |
|
For saying so, there's Gold:/Mine owne escape vnfoldeth to my hope,/
Whereto thy speech serues for authoritie/The like of him. Know'st thou this Countrey?
|
|
 
|
Andrew: Sir Toby Belch. How now sir Toby Belch?
Toby: Sweet sir Andrew.
|
"Faith, I can cut a caper."
|
Maria: You are resolute then?
Clowne: Not so neyther, but I am resolu'd on two points
Maria: That if one breake, the other will hold: or if both breake, your gaskins fall.
|
As there is no true Cuckold but calamity, so beauties a flower |
Looke you now, he's out of his gard already: vnles you laugh and minister occasion to him, he is gag'd.
|
| What's a drunken man like, foole? |
|
|
The honorable Ladie of the house, which is she?
|
|
Euen so quickly may one catch the plague?/Me thinkes I feele this youths perfections/
With an inuisible, and subtle stealth/To creepe in at mine eyes.
|
But you sir, alter'd that, for some houre before you tooke me from the breach of the sea, was my sister drown'd.
|
|
|
I left no Ring with her: what meanes this Lady?/Fortune forbid my out-side haue not charm'd her:/She made good view of me, indeed so much,/That me thought her eyes had lost her tongue,/For she did speake in starts distractedly./She loues me sure, the cunning of her passion/Inuites me in this churlish messenger
|
|
|
| Three merry men be wee. |
O Mistris mine where are you roming? |
|
|
|
Mistris Mary, if you priz'd my Ladies fauour at any thing more then contempt, you would not giue meanes for this vnciuill rule; she shall know of it by this hand.
|
|
O peace, now he's deepely in: looke how imagination blowes him.
|
|
Now is the Woodcocke neere the gin.
|
|
|
Toby: Wilt thou set thy foote o'my necke.
Andrew: Or o'mine either?
Toby: Shall I play my freedome at tray-trip, and becom thy bondslaue?
Andrew: Ifaith, or I either?
|
You haue said sir: To see this age: A sentence is but a cheu'rill gloue to a good witte, how quickely the wrong side may be turn'd outward.
|
|
|
| Dieu vou guard Monsieur. |
Cesario, by the Roses of the Spring,/By maid-hood, honor, truth, and euery thing,/I loue thee so, that maugre all thy pride,/Nor wit, nor reason, can my passion hide
|
|
Sweet Lady, ho, ho.
|
|
|
|
|
Why how doest thou man?/What is the matter with thee?
|
Aye, to bed sweetheart! |
Heere's the Challenge, reade it: I warrant there's vinegar and pepper in't.
|
Thou comst to the Lady Oliuia, and in my sight she vses thee kindly
|
|
Hold sir, or Ile throw your dagger ore the house.
|
Duke: Come, away.
Olivia: Whether my Lord?
Cesario, Husband, stay.
|
 |
|
If nothing lets to make vs happie both,/But this my masculine vsurp'd attyre:/Do not embrace me, till each circumstance,/Of place, time, fortune, do co-here and jumpe/That I am Viola |
