My high schooler and junior higher will soon be reading/listening/watching Shakespeare's comedy, Twelfth Night. I would not recommend the unabridged play for younger readers as some sexual references are included.
The following resources proved helpful in my preparation and also for my sons' use while reading it-
1. My go-to resource for Shakespeare- How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare by Ken Ludwig *highly recommend; I own it.
2. The Great Courses- William Shakespeare: Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies Taught by Professor Peter Saccio Dartmouth College (each lecture is 30 min.) *Highly recommend; borrowed from the library.
3. Shakespeare Appreciated-Twelfth Night-all-audio series-full-cast performance (option w/ commentaries/guided analysis, 2 CDS just have the play, not commentaries). *Highly recommend; borrowed from the library.
4. Globe on Screen-William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night *Highly recommend; borrowed from the library Warning- All the actors are males. The males play female roles, so technically when a "woman" kisses a man it really is two men kissing. My sons did not like that.
5. Barron's Booknotes Borrowed from the library-
6. CliffsComplete *Highly recommed; Borrowed from the library:
7. No Fear Shakespeare-*Highly recommend; I own 2 copies
8. Twelfth Night retold by Bruce Coville illustrated by Tim Raglin *Highly recommend-especially to read before the unabridged version so the plot is understood & for the younger audience.
