A University has been told it risks being labelled idiotic for warning students that they may find Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night disturbing. This play on gender among the main characters is so modern, it might have been written yesterday,' she said. The university's warning is to students in a workshop on gender and identity, which is designed to provide 'context' for the play. The university said: 'Students need to understand the historical context of the texts. The workshop note on content lets students know that different views on gender and sexual difference will be explored.'
