Tamsin Greig is Malvolia in a new twist on Shakespeare’s classic comedy of mistaken identity.
A ship is wrecked on the rocks. Viola is washed ashore but her twin brother Sebastian is lost. Determined to survive on her own, she steps out to explore a new land. So begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love.
The nearby households of Olivia and
Orsino are overrun with passion. Even Olivia's upright housekeeper Malvolia is
swept up in the madness. Where music is the food of love, and nobody is quite
what they seem, anything proves possible.
Simon
Godwin (NT Live: Man and Superman, NT Live: The Beaux’
Stratagem) directs this joyous new production with Tamsin Greig (Friday
Night Dinner, Black Books, Episodes) as a transformed Malvolia. an ensemble
cast that includes Daniel Rigby (Flowers, Jericho), Tamara Lawrence
(Undercover), Doon Mackichan (Smack the Pony) and Daniel Ezra (The Missing,
Undercover).
