Yeah!! it's also a sneaky shakespeare reference! "What's past is prologue" from the tempest! i noticed it when i watched DS9 and started using it as a username!!
wha thats so cool!! I'm jealous being in a production of 12th night is on my bucket list, I auditioned for my uni's summer production last year, but they kept making me read for the women and I was like ah... gender and then didn't get in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but one day!! I'd also like to direct a production one day but thats a bit loftier
what was playing malvolio like? Was it a more malvolio sympathetic production or was it played for goofs?
Ahhh we did a very gay production!!!! Viola was played by a non binary person and well. i am trans.
as someone who's fought to be in productions at my university, i def recommend doing ur own shit. our 12th night was student organized by a friend of mine who is starting his own company. ive done more productions outside of school than in it
oh it was absolutely for laughs. the show was way silly. there's a great picture on my insta if you wanna see: @gavinhjrobertson
YEs, I love a non binary viola, theres so much evidence in the text for a non binary viola!! 12th night deserves to trans and gay. and it looks like it was modern dress too? Seems like it was a blast! (in contrast have you seen the national theaters version? they put it up on youtube like a month ago. I'm not a super big fan of it bcs it leans on the tragedy more than most, but it still did some cool stuff and is very malvolio (in this case actually malvolia) centric)
yeah that's been my experience so far too. everything i've been in since i got to uni has been student written and produced which is rad, but also means no shakespeare :^(
I'd love to play orsino, just so I can sprawl myself over couches, listen to music, and be sad in bisexual, but I'd also gladly play viola bcs like i said nonbinary viola is it! Is there anyone else you'd like to play, besides malvolio?

aaa I should have caught that one I'm too into shakespeare for my own good (to be fair mostly just 12th night) I reread the tempest recently too smh
It's interesting that the writers chose to make a tempest reference at the beginning of ds9 when they also made one at the end of tng
