STAGED: Timeless tropes, enduring stories – a Shakespeare collection for YA readers ‘O time, thou must untangle this, not I.’ Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of crossed loves and mistaken identities. Love gets complicated. After a catastrophic shipwreck, identical twins Viola and Sebastian are separated, each believing that the other is dead. To get her life back on track, Viola begins dressing as a man and working for Duke Orsino – mostly passing love letters to his beau, Countess Olivia. Unfortunately, Viola fancies the Duke for herself, and Olivia has fallen for Viola! All it would take was another Viola in play to set the whole thing unravelling … Offering the complete and unabridged text, set in an easy-to-read font and introduced by renowned YA authors, this beautifully designed collection is the perfect way to introduce YA readers to Shakespeare’s most iconic stories.
