Synopsis
Or What You Will. Shakespeare comedy of mistaken identity, practical jokes and unrequited love. Rescued from a shipwreck the twins Viola and Sebastian arrive independently in Illyria, both thinking the other is drowned. Viola disguises herself as a boy and finds employment with the Duke who is in love with Olivia. Malvolio is the subject of a cruel joke played on him by Sir Toby Belch (yellow stockings cross-gartered) leading him to believe that Olivia loves him. But Olivia has fallen in love with the disguised Viola, while she is in love with the Duke (following it so far?!).
Our Review:
Karen Bussell - 13 February 2013
The tremendous all-male Shakespeare company Propeller revisit their 06/07 productions of Twelfth Night and The Taming of The Shrew for their current tour.
The striking Vince Leigh earns his keep with a double lead – as loutish fortune-hunter Petruchio and laddish drunk Sir Toby Belch.
His Sir Toby is central to the obvious comedy of Twelfth Night as Olivia (the coquettish Ben Allen) rejects the melodramatic Duke (a swashbuckling Christopher Heyward) but swiftly jettisons her mourning to pursue sweet newcomer cross dresser Cesario/Viola (Joseph Chance).
John MacDougall is wonderfully comic as toff Sir Andrew Aguecheek; Chris Myles peevish and randy as Malvolio resplendent in yellow fishnets and bondage pouch, and Gary Shelford a sly minx as the scheming Maria while [Liam O’Brien]’s dour Feste with an eye to the main chance and a melodic voice is beautifully understated.
With slapstick – the box tree scene par...
