National Theatre Encore: Twelfth Night

Director
Simon Godwin
Certificate
12A
Running Time
210 mins

Shakespeare’s light’n’funny romantic farce of cross-dressing and mistaken identity gets a gender-fluid makeover from Simon Godwin, with Tamsin Greig on particularly fine form in the traditionally male role of Malvolia. “Bright, inventive and boundlessly funny” was The Grauniad‘s verdict.

The play is broadcast live on April 6. Some cinemas also have encore screenings on May 2, with more no doubt still to be announced.
