TWELFTH KNIGHT

In this updated retelling of Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT, the classic tale of false identities and gender-swapping is enhanced by the talented narrations of Alexandra Palting and Kevin R. Free. Their youthful and energetic performances bring to life injured football player Jack Orsino and geeky tabletop gamer Viola Reyes, who meet up in an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) called Twelfth Knight and develop a strong emotional connection. Free and Palting's nuanced voices help listeners enjoy the twists and turns of this enjoyable young adult romance. Both narrators display finesse in navigating their characters' development.
