Twelfth Night
|
One of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies Twelfth Night skillfully weaves a story of deception disguise and frustrated love amid the festivities of an ancient tradition: the Christmas holiday when for one night life is turned upside down and mischief reigns; men dress as women servants dress as their masters and authority is usurped. Heading an illustrious cast in this ITC production are two giants of the stage and screen: Alec Guinness is the pompous and puritanical steward Malvolio and Ralph Richardson plays Sir Toby Belch whose drunken prank deftly exposes Malvolio's vanity and hypocrisy and lies at the heart of the play's subplot. Tommy Steele is the wise fool Feste; renowned Shakespearean actress Joan Plowright plays Viola the shipwrecked young noblewoman posing as a page (Cesario) in the service of Duke Orsino. This acclaimed production is directed by the award-winning John Sichel who worked with some of the world's greatest actors and most prestigious theatre institutions and was originally screened in 1969 as part of the celebrated ITV Saturday Night Theatre series.
