A Twelfth Night of Resilience
At the time of the London Blitz, Viola, who barely survived a shipwreck in the North Atlantic, turns herself into a boy, Cesario, to enter the service of Duke Orsino. Cesario is given the mission of conveying Orsino’s undying admiration to Countess Olivia. Olivia’s kitchen, half destroyed by the Blitz, is the meeting place of a rainbow of hopelessly human characters – the “lighter people,” the servants.
And then, as if the war were not enough, enter Love: Orsino loves Olivia – Viola loves Orsino – Antonio loves Sebastian – Olivia loves Viola, thinking she´s Cesario – Sebastian loves Olivia, thinking she´s a dream – Malvolio loves status, and power, thinking Olivia loves him – Sir Andrew loves dancing, fencing, and bear-baiting – Sir Toby loves drinking, and money, and herrings – Maria loves Toby, and Feste, and Fabian – Fabian loves a good jest – Curio loves to watch . . .
It´s madness!
It´s Twelfth Night!
Or What You Will...
