Thank you for these segments. I'm teaching the play and these are helpful. I would have liked to have heard the actors discuss sharing a kiss in this scene. In other productions (e.g., Trevor Nunn's), Cesario and Orsino almost cross this line but do not. What is gained or lost by the kiss? Is that "giving the game away"? Is it prompting Orsino to re-evaluate his sexual orientation (what Emma Smith terms "gay panic")? I wish I could have seen this production. The clips I've seen are pretty great.

But they kiss in the actual production. Didn’t that take away the danger and the stakes?
