Magic Hands!

-BOTH:

-Hello. My name is a A-I-M-E-E. Aimee.

And I'm A-S-H-L-E-Y. Ashley.

Look at what my hands can do.

Oh, it's Shakespeare.

And there's a big, old-fashioned ship behind him.

Today's play was written by William Shakespeare

and it's called Twelfth Night.

We start with Viola, who has just been saved from a shipwreck.

But she thinks her twin brother, Sebastian, is lost at sea.

Are you ready?

Meow. Meow.

What country, friends, is this?

This is Illyria, lady.

And what should I do in Illyria?

My brother, he is an Elysium. Perchance, he is not drowned.

What think you, sailors?

It is perchance that you yourself were saved.

Oh, my poor brother and so perchance may he be.

True, madam.

And to comfort you with chance,

assure yourself, after our ship did split, when you

and those poor number saved with you hung on our driving boat.

I saw your brother. Most provident in peril.

Bind himself, courage and hope both teaching him

the practise to a strong mast that lived upon the sea.

Where, like Arion on the dolphin's back,

I saw him hold acquaintance with the waves.

So long as I could see.

For saying so, there's gold.

Viola's brother, Sebastian, might have survived.

Next, Viola, his twin sister, disguises herself as a man

and gets a job as a messenger for Orsino, a rich Duke.

She is told to take love letters from Orsino to Lady Olivia.

However, Lady Olivia does not like Orsino.

Instead, she starts falling for a certain young messenger boy.

Your Lord does know my mind.

I cannot love him yet I suppose him virtuous, know him noble.

Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth,

in voices well divulged.

Free, learned and valiant.

And in dimension and the shape of nature, a gracious person.

But yet I cannot love him. He might have took his answer long ago.

If I did love you in my master's flame...

..with search a suffering, such a deadly life,

in your denial I would find no sense.

I would not understand it.

Why? What would you?

Make me a willow cabin at your gate.

And call upon my soul within the house.

Halloo your name to the reverberate hills.

And make the babbling gossip of the air cry out, "Olivia."

Oh, you should not rest between elements of air

and earth, but you should pity me.

You might do much.

This is getting complicated.

But then it gets really exciting.

-Viola's long last twin brother, Sebastian is alive.

-Wow.

They meet again at Lady Olivia's house.

DRUM BEATS

Do I stand there? I never had a brother.

I had a sister whom the blind waves and surges have devoured.

Of charity, what kin are you to me?

What countryman? What name?

What parentage?

Sebastian was my father.

Such as Sebastian was my brother, too.

So, went he suited to his watery tomb.

If spirits can assume both form and suit, you come to fright us.

A spirit I am indeed but am in that dimension grossly clad,

which from the womb I did participate.

Were you a woman, as the rest goes even?

I should my tears let fall upon your cheek and say,

"Thrice welcome, drowned Viola.

My father had a mole upon his brow.

And so had mine.

And died that day when Viola from her birth had numbered 13 years.

Oh, that record is lively in my soul.

He finished indeed his mortal act.

That day that made my sister 13 years.

If nothing lets to make us happy both,

but that this my masculine usurped attire,

do not embrace me till each circumstance of place,

time, fortune, do cohere and jump that I am Viola.

Which to confirm, I'll bring you to a captain in this town,

where lie my maiden weeds.
