NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: TWELFTH NIGHT

If music be the food of love... play on!

-

Shakespear­e’s 1602 comedy meets the very modern trend for gender fluidity in this, the National Theatre’s 2017 stage production. In it, the pompous Malvolio becomes Malvolia, played by Tamsin Greig. It’s a clever trick that only serves to chime with the play’s themes of mistaken identity and unrequited love. Also stars Doon Mackichan and Daniel Rigby. Sky/NOW TV, available now
