About the Author:
John Burfeind is a medical oncologist with a lifelong interest in teaching. He has been awarded for his teaching skills at the Medical College of Wisconsin and at Providence Portland Medical Center in Portland, Oregon. This presentation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night has given him the opportunity to unite his passion for teaching with his interest in the seminal events of Western civilization. For years he searched unsuccessfully for a presentation of Shakespeare's plays that was accessible to the average 21st century reader. Finally, he decided to write the book that he wished had been written, and the result is this edition of Twelfth Night. A resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he is a long-time season ticket holder at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and he has enjoyed the outstanding work of the nationally known Milwaukee Shakespeare Company. He and his wife Jennifer are expecting their first child.
