I went to enjoy 12th night on March 3rd, 2018. First play I could attend in five years since my car accident that ended my special ed career, put together with sticks and screws and brain injured. Imagine my complete horror as the character Malvolio limped like me, atopped talking to take steps like me, begs the people he LOVES and SERVES trick him because he demand quiet to sleep at night!!! The audience is laughing. Its still okay to make fun of the hadicaped. I had to constantly address "normal" kids bad behavior to their "special" classmates. I emailed the heads of everything on the Orlando Shakespear Website but only the actor who potrayed Malvalio responded and said, in summary, "my intentions are pure, dont be butt hurt".

I am heartbroken. One of my fondest Orlando Shakes memory is Taming Of the Shrew 2002, Lake Eola Amphitheatre. Puturcio breaks the fourth wall and asks "How would you tame a shrew?" And my husband (now 26 years) was so involved in the play he shouted back from our back row seats "Great sex!!!!" And he still does.
