y What's la A Name? Shakespeare
Called Rlav Twelfth Night"
“After dinner to the Duke'#
House, and there saw "Twelfth
Night' acted well, though it In*
hut a silly play and not related at
all to the name.”
So wrote the Knglish diarist,
Samuel Prpys, in recording the
event# of January 6. 1683
Later critics have laken a
more enthusiastic view of Wil
liam Shakespeare's •Twelfth
Night" than flirt Mr. Pepvs, but
they have to agree that the comic
gambol I rears no relationship to
its title. Apparently, the play
was so named because it had
been written to lie performed on
Twelfth Night.
Had Shak espeare chosen to do
It. he ha.I ample materials at
hand to create a play thal was
really about 'Twelfth Night "
Eplplmny. the Twelfth Niight
of Christmas, traditionally the
night when the Magi hi ought
gifts to the Christ Child was a
most important festival j n
Shakespeare's time, an«l many
1'iistoms sui rounded rt.
Characters ready for Shake
*l>oaie's pen were such tradition
al folk as ‘‘Patrick OTater.” “La
dy Bluestocking.*' anti “Captain
Blunderbuss." and others. At
Twelfth Night frolics, the young
people, especially, dressed them
(elves in costumes lo suggest
Ihese characters.
Shakespeare, however, prefer
red to write of Sir Toby Belch.
