| 12th NIGHT by William Shakespeare | ||
Twelfth Night is a happy drama, except for one austere Puritan. The play is set in Illyria (Illyria is a real place off the coast of Albania, but Shakespeare is set in a fictional kingdom rather that real). Viola is in love with the Count Orsino, who is in love with Lady Olivia, who is in love with Viola’s male disguise, Cesario. This love triangle is complicated by the fact that neither Orsino nor Olivia know that Viola is really a woman. |

| WORRY WARTS by Morris Glietzman. An adaptation by Eva Di Cesare, Sandra Eldridge and Tim Mc Garry |
||
| The play is set in a small coastal town in Far North Queensland, on the outback roads of Australia, upon the opal fields in Australia and at The National Gallery in London, England. Worried because his parents’ constant fighting has been aggravated by financial problems, twelve year old Keith decides to solve the problem by running away to pick up a fortune in the Australian opal fields. |
