Rehearsal Pics: Stephen Fry & cast in Twelfth Night rehearsals

Stephen Fry

In the household of Olivia (Rylance), two campaigns are being quietly waged – one
by the lovesick lord Orsino against the heart of the indifferent Olivia;
the other by an alliance of servants and hangers-on against the
high-handedness of her steward, the pompous Malvolio. When Orsino
engages the cross-dressed Viola to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a
bittersweet chain of events follows.
