Tamsin Greig is Malvolia in a 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 and an ensemble cast that includes Daniel Rigby (Flowers, Jericho), Tamara Lawrence (Undercover), Doon Mackichan (Smack the Pony), and Daniel Ezra (The Missing, Undercover).
Skip the jetlag and join us for the best of London theater right here in Easton. The Williams Center introduces a new series, National Theatre Live Downtown. In partnership with the Lafayette College Theater Department, we'll present broadcast performances from London's vaunted venues--the National Theatre, the Old Vic, the Barbican, Donmar Warehouse, and other West End houses--at the Landis Cinema, Buck Hall, 219 North 3rd Street (at Snyder Street).
