Twelfth Night at the National Theatre starring Tamsin Greig
Simon Godwin (Man and Superman, The Beaux’ Stratagem) directs this joyous new production of Shakespeare’s comedy with Tamsin Greig as a transformed Malvolia.
Twelfth Night runs from 15 February 2017 until 13 May 2017 at the National Theatre.
STORY
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.
