- TWELFTH NIGHT by William Shakespeare
directed
by Stephen Casey (RSC)
"The
funniest and wackiest Shakespearean production I have ever seen...if
anyone thought Shakespeare was dull, they will surely change their
minds by watching this production" Rowan Dore, The Argus
Absurd
and affectionate, bawdy and boisterous, Twelfth Night is
a classic tale of mistaken identity, the perils of drink, the dangers
of self-importance and, of course, the obligatory love triangle.
Directed
by RSC's Stephen Casey (King Lear, Henry V, Richard II, The Odyssey,
Of Mice and Men), and featuring an ensemble cast of 11 actors,
this witty and innovative new production (trimmed to a lean, mean
and fighting fit hour and a half) is the perfect introduction to
Shakespeare for all the family.

Reviews
"HANDBAGS
AT DUSK IN THE PARK"
Oscar Wilde
would be proud. His timeless wit has the whole of St Ann's Well Gardens
in peals of laughter until the sun sets.
....Sarah
Mann's performance as Lady Bracknell is superb. Her pompous tone and
bulging eyes are enough to silence any outspoken politician let alone
the pair of foppish dandies who prance around the gardens in pink pin-striped
blazers, cravats and smoking jackets.
As I sip
my glass of wine I wait for the moment when Mann's eyes will finally
pop out of her head, such is the energy she instills in the character.
Her moans and groans, whoops of delight and exclamations of disapproval
make her the ultimate matriarchal dragon....
....Cecily
and Gwendolen's frosty exchange are scenes I had been looking forward
to and they do not disappoint. Gwendolen (Stephanie Prince) tosses her
hair and sticks her nose in the air delightfully and Cecily (Lucinda
Cowden) is the epitome of silliness....
...By the
end of the evening the audience leaves with a warm glow - accounted
for either the numerous bottles of wine consumed or, more likely, the
satisfaction of seeing one of the greatest comic plays brought to life
with such talent and understanding."
Jan Melrose,
THE ARGUS, August 9, 2005
"SUPER
SHAKESPEARE SPICES UP SUMMER"
Twelfth
Night "…The play has been directed by Stephen Casey, who normally
can be found working with the Royal Shakespeare Company….We have
Lucinda Cowden, who played Melanie in Neighbours, as Viola and then
Cesario….a highly professional portrayal of Maria from Sarah Mann…with
James Madden as Sir Toby Belch, there is plenty of over-acting as the
parts demand … If anyone thought Shakespeare was dull, they will
surely change their minds by watching this production."
Rowan Dore,
THE ARGUS, August 2004
Edinburgh
Festival 2000 "Channel 4 executives would kill to squeeze something
with this much life." The Argos, July 25, 2000
"Jim
Madden has written an extraordinary script that allows his cast
to show off all of their theatrical skills to huge effect. The wonderful
writing loops about, losing its own thread deliberately, like a Vodka-swigging
coke-head on a big hit. Which is exactly what this Class A comedy deserves
to be....Sarah Mann gives a dazzling performance in the frenzied,
jabbering and very challenging role of Penny" Diane Dubois,
THE SCOTSMAN, August 2000
