Summary  from the RSC



'I am all the daughters of my father's house,

And all the brothers too.'



Twelfth Night is a tale of unrequited love – hilarious and heartbreaking. Twins are separated in a shipwreck, and forced to fend for themselves in a strange land. The first twin, Viola, falls in love with Orsino, who dotes on OIivia, who falls for Viola but is idolised by Malvolio. Enter Sebastian, who is the spitting image of his twin sister...

My Notes



  Each production of a play brings new elements of interpretation.  In my

collections there have been many varieties for Twelfth Night and those can be found from The Globe and NTLive.  Here the musical elements are so significant I include Nigel Hess at the top with the two directors.



  This is a new DVD recode from the recently released DVD now available.

The features and edit are slightly different from a previous torrent which may have lapsed.  I continue with all torrents and urge viewers to get the dvd for their  libraries and schools.
