|  | Rumpelstiltskin by Paul O. Zelinsky
When a miller's daughter boasts that she can spin straw into gold, she is ordered by the king to do so. Knowing that the king will have her killed if she does not complete this task, the girl accepts the bargain offered to her by a strange little man: he will spin the straw into gold if she will give him her first-born child. Years later, after the girl has married the king and become a queen, the mysterious man reappears to claim his reward: her newborn baby. Now the only way the queen can keep her child is if she can guess the stranger's name. AUTHOR: Paul O. Zelinsky

 | Twelfth Night by Alec McCowen, David Bevington, David Scott Kastan, Elizabeth S. Donno, Fitzgerald Higgins
Separated twins, practical jokers, pining lovers, and a comic villain populate the city of Illyria, where the drama of TWELFTH NIGHT unfolds. When the fraternal twins Viola and Sebastian independently wash ashore in the city from a shipwreck , unbeknownst to one another, each assumes the other is dead. With Viola disguised as a man, the Duke Orsino, the gentlewoman Olivia, and the kind Antonio intermittently confuse the identity of the twins. Meanwhile, the victim of a practical joke, the priggish Malvolio acts so peculiarly that he is confined to a mental institution. Much confusion needs ironing out before the weddings in the last scene. TWELFTH NIGHT is based on a late 16th-century play by Barnable Rich, which itself drew inspiration from many French and Italian sources. The earliest recorded performance was in 1602, and it was probably penned between 1599 and 1601. Early in 1601 an Italian visitor named Orsino visited the court of Queen Elizabeth, perhaps inspiring Shakespeare`s use of his name for the Duke here.
