Priceless! Tamsin Grieg is amazing in this wonderful presentation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Well I know, she's amazing in every part she undertakes, but in this reimagining of Malvolio as Malvolia
Looking forward to tonight. I was in the play at school playing Curio "Will you go hunt my lord?" Saw this production in the cinema and thought it hilarious
Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy Will, And Will to boot, and Will in overplus; More than enough am I that vex thee still, To thy sweet will making addition thus. Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious, Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine? Shall will in others seem right gracious, And in my will no fair acceptance shine? The sea, all water, yet receives rain still, And in abundance addeth to his store; So thou being rich in Will add to thy Will One will of mine, to make thy large Will more. Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill; Think all but one, and me in that one Will.
As someone who isn't a major Shakespeare enthusiast who just enjoys theatre - this production was so much fun to watch! Tamsin clearly had such a great time with this number! More gender bending ***should*** and probably ***will*** happen in theatre!
I love Tamsin Greig but she looks a little uncomfortable in this bit. I'm guessing it's because she had to sing and it isn't her forte. Still love her, regardless.
If you mean, bad art everywhere, I am in agreement with you! Theatre nowadays seems to be either brilliant (2%) or beyond bad taste, even when competent.
Have you not read Twelfth Night? That play is full of cross-dressing, homoeroticism, and all sorts of weird, shifting attractions. This is totally within the the spirit of the play.
Modern adaptations of Shakespeare really piss me off. It’s dressed up as daring and innovative. All I see is cheap and lazy. I find him hard enough to follow but when the settings and costumes are totally out of context I just give up.
Please, Shakespeare would have absolutely loved something like this. Twelfth Night is full of cross-dressing shenanigans and homoeroticism. There's a scene in A Midsummer Night's Dream where a character complains of blue balls. A Midsummer Night's Dream also played around a ton with historical accuracy. Shakespeare was not some stuffy, high-brow playwright. He was very innovative and raunchy for his time, and he played around with what was possible all the time. Adaptations like this are totally faithful to the spirit of his works. Oh, also, this one isn't talked about very much, for obvious reasons, but Shakespeare also wrote a poem about Venus and Adonis that ends with Venus accidentally fucking Adonis to death and then doing a walk of shame back to Olympus. He doesn't belong on a pedestal.
How did Tamsin Greig not get an Olivier nomination for this? She was a sensational Malvolia.
I've replayed this several times, but it still feels like I got really drunk and dreamed it.
It’s definitely the kind of performance that does that to you, no question. Lol
I didn’t know that Tamsin could sing! 🤯

she shows us that she can handle a tragic figure just as well as a comic one.
I love how the other two women are like..."Um...is she high?"...hilarious!
Don’t let Jim see this 😂

I missed it when it was so streamed. I will forever regret it.
Where they wouldn't like that at Friday night dinner would they should have to tell auntie Val 😂
Fantastic, thank you!!
Please just once more. Please bring it back with all the other plays on the last week as a last hurrah, if you will. Please!!!
God she is to fabulous
Looking forward to this!
The final, visual joke is hilarious. And, as is customary, not written by Shakespeare.
TamSINSATIONAL!
Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy Will,
And Will to boot, and Will in overplus;
More than enough am I that vex thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?
The sea, all water, yet receives rain still,
And in abundance addeth to his store;
So thou being rich in Will add to thy Will
One will of mine, to make thy large Will more.
Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill;
Think all but one, and me in that one Will.
Shalom, Jackie

Hello Jackie, you look nice

Character choice! Malvolio is discomforted somewhat having to smile as he/she is a puritan and never smiles let alone performs
She did play the lead in a musical version of "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown."
A dead bird. Quite badly decomposed- m.(Martin ) Goodman - f. (fartin) goodman
A timely reminder to stay at home stay safe from this ..
Every day we stray further from God's light
