h p a r g o t o h P Twelfth Nigh t by William Shakespea re

a National Theat re p roduction

In c inemas f rom June 3 Tamsin G reig ( Friday Night Dinner , Black

Books , Episodes ) is Malvolia in a new twist on

Shakespea re’s classic comedy of mistaken identit y,

di rected by Simon Godwin ( NT Live: Man and

Supe rman , NT Live: The Beaux’ Stratagem ).

A ship is w recked on the rocks. Viola is washed

asho re but her twin b rother Sebastian is lost.

Determined to survive on her own, she steps out

to explo re a new land. So begins a whirlwind of

mistaken identity and un requited love.

The nearby households of Olivia and Orsino

are overrun with passion. Even Olivia ’s upright

housekeeper Malvolia is swept up in the madness.

Whe re music is the food of love, and nobody is

quite what they seem, anything p roves possible.
