Twelfth Night is the story of Shakespeares Mulan.Our heroine Viola takes on the role of an eunuch namedCesario in order to make her way in Illyria, where shelands after being shipwrecked. There, comical complica-tions arise resulting from her choice to go incognito as aboy, and we also get to meet some Illyrians, who mightactually seem like characters we know in real life.
Its one of Shakespeares most accessible plays, and wefound it quite fun with its motley cast of characters tomake it into a Second Life production for the enjoymentof a Second Life audience. For our 2008 production, wehave subtitles available in English, German, and Italian.
We also present our first production using multiple setswhere we jumped through quite a few burning hoops tomake the set changes feasible under high audience loads.
The play is not set in a historic location, but, rather, in thefictional land of Illyria. We were thus not required to cre-
ate based on historical motifs, as we had to with Hamlet.Thus, the general look of the production is of the genericpast: the outfits procured do not necessarily exist in asingle era or location, nor do the sets.
But, as youd hopefully see, the SL Shakespeare Companys
tradition of visual and theatrical extravagance still existsin this production.

Although, the designs do not belong to a par-ticular era or location, the set design for this play
continued our tradition of adapting the sets to workwith the basic structure of the Globe Theatre stage.
Preserved in each design is the placement ofparts to account for the Globes characteristic twocolumns, balcony, and conjectural stage door loca-tions. Thus, each set was designed to fit like asort of jacket or cap onto the existing stage features,rather than to disregard them.
During the active season, all of the sets are availablefor your visual enjoyment. They are stored back-stage in the Thames River Courtyard. The follow-ing pages provide a quick visual overview with someminimal commentary on each set.

Duke Orsinos palace has both an upper level and a lowerlevel. The Duke himself only enters on the balcony, lostin love and at a distance from whats going on around
himthough the statue-etchings of cupids with bows doall have their arrows pointed at him! Its roughly mid-morning, and sunlight streams through upper level win-dows into the scene, while multimedia-projector-esqueshadows dance in the corridor background. Curio, houseleft, eats a hart and asks about hunting, but Orsino takeshim to mean the heart, and goes off a tangent explain-ing how in love with love he is. Musicians congregate inhouse right to play the food of love.
I think the first thing people notice in this
set is that theres a rather bulky and large
and well-padded flowerbed right in frontof you, and thats what saves Orsino as he
just flutters off the balcony. (Ideally, hell fall
backwards, so from a cinematic angle, when
he lands, this might look like a sort of gay
version of the rose petals scene from Ameri-
can Beauty.) A.D. Ina Centaur

Perhaps the most daring set attempted yet, withsand and storm and sky and sea all in it, the de-sign does conform to the Globe Theatre stagesstructurethe columns are neatly hidden by palmtrees, and the top and Heavens by storm clouds. Ashipwrecked ship sits between the gap of distancebetween the twin palm trees beneath which Violaand the Captain sit.
This isnt The Tempest, but we have a bigstorm complete with lightning anywaywe
also have global lighting set to stormlight, to
give everything a totally stormy glow. I do
like the dramatic effect you get from wind-
blown hair in real life, but I really love howthe sculpted character clothing and makeup
basically stay unchanging through the
storm! Anyway, though, believe it or not, this
scene was inspired by this thing Ive totally
always wanted to doturning the stage pil-lars into palm trees! A.D. Ina Centaur

The set features a generic Italian looktimelessand nearly placeless, a conjectural Illyrian street.This exterior scene has buildings with plaster walls,mixed with some Tudor architecture, especiallyfor Taurus Tavern. At its center are large dramaticporch steps leading to Olivias house door, slightlyout-of-proportions, smaller than a regular door,through which Maria enters.
The name of the tavern would have been the
Mermaid Tavern if I wasnt stuck in my literal-ani-
mal symbolism phase Tobys born under Taurus
was taken literallyas it was with the canary and
the hart. Mistress Mall posters advertise an offbeatidea at an extremely well-tuned tailored Shake-
spearean Marketplace, with stores like Shylocks
Usury (exchange) and One True Apothecary
(SLface skin store with items boxed in potion
vialsthat turns you into a new personin looks at
least). Other than that, its a minimal generic past
street scene, with some old haystacks given away
as freebies during Halloween, and a skeleton of a
tarp stand not quite covering a forgotten canary in
a cage. Its complete when Andrew sets down his
bottle of Castiliano Vulgo next to the cageafterMaria dumps him, barren. A.D. Ina Centaur

With the exception of adornments, original tex-tures are used and created from scratch in all sets.Of note in this one, the plaster is actually generated
using Luxology ImageSynth from several pieces ofphoto-sampled plaster in Raphaels School of Ath-ens.
Scene 4 is basically a reprise of Scene 1,
but with the flowerbed replaced by a weird
slab-ish-looking-thing. (Were at a sort ofdollhouse view, so the glow of the SLSC
logo on the side of the slab doesnt make
the characters lose their place like the penny
in Somewhere in Time.) Symbolically, this
represents Violas replacing the bed of
violetsOrsino defaults to Viola as embassy
to Olivia, rather than gravity in a fall to flow-
ers, canopied with bowers. Also, symbolism
in height of posts is usedViola is at a level
closest to Orsino now for someone whos
not blood. A.D. Ina Centaur

Rectangular motifs block out the essence of thismulti-level set. The upper level balcony looks likethe perch of a court judge. Huge black mourning
curtains denote the boundaries of a large windowon house left, and stairways block out most of houseright. Much of the house is bare, perhaps Olivia hasordered furniture thrown out in her depression overher brothers passing. Yet, theres the single conjec-
tural painting of Olivia and her brother sitting ontop of the entrance to the scenes.
I had originally wanted grand rounded
stairways, the kind that you see in stereotypi-cal neoclassical mansions or Phantom-of-the-
opera-operahouses. A high quality version
of such a construction isnt possible with-
out too much labor on SL, so I stuck with
a square-angled look. It worked out well,
I guessOlivia is really more angled than
round in personality, so the set reflects her:
though shes fickle from her sudden change
from brother-mourning to Cesario-loving,
theres a sharpness in her that lets her way
become decree. A.D. Ina Centaur

19Dressing a virtual cast lets you not onlyclothe the actors, but also design their fac-
es, shape their bodies
create their charac-ters for the purpose of rendering their livesin a dramatic and cinematic 3d fashion.
Ina Centaur
While most outfits were combinedfrom existing outfit components, most of the
skins were custom made or custom-fit for thecharacters of Twelfth Night. The outfit choicesfollowed naturally after consideration of eachcharacters state during Act 1 of the play.
This production of Twelfth Night, set in a non-historic and non-location-dependent fictionalworld of Illyria, has its atmosphere created bythe sets in the preceding pages, and its people
created by the wardrobe of the twelve charac-ters in Act 1 shown in the pages to follow.
