Twelfth Night review - on high gender alert with Greig
Tamsin Greig is a magnetic Malvolia in an extravagant production that gleefully refocuses Shakespeare's comedy.
Susannah Clapp, The Observer, 26th February 2017Review of Twelfth Night starring Tamsin Greig
The headline news about the National's new production of Twelfth Night has, of course, been the re-gendered casting of Malvolio as Malvolia, with Tamsin Greig assuming the mantle of the romantically deluded servant infatuated by her mistress, so Malvolia turns out to be a lesbian.
Mark Shenton, London Theatre, 25th February 2017Twelfth Night, Olivier, National Theatre, review
Tamsin Grieg plays Malvolia, a traditionally male role, in Simon Godwin's new modern-dress production of Shakespeare's classic comedy of mistaken identity, joining the ranks of great actresses, who are tackling meaty Shakespearean roles, including Glenda Jackson as Lear.
Paul Taylor, The Independent, 24th February 2017Twelfth Night review: Tamsin Greig brings comic brio
The National's take on Shakespeare's comedy is great fun - but skilfully brings home the play's pervading air of melancholy.
Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 23rd February 2017Review: Twelfth Night (Olivier, National Theatre)
Tamsin Greig plays Malvolia in this cross-gender casting version of Shakespeare's bawdy comedy.
Holly Williams, What's On Stage, 23rd February 2017Review: Twelfth Night, National Theatre
Tamsin Greig leads a triumphant Twelfth Night at The National, ingeniously re-imaging one of Shakespeare's most bitter misanthropes as Malvolia. The production is gloriously wacky and stunning to behold. Truly I saw the future of theatre, and it was beautiful.
Helena Payne, BritishTheatre.com, 23rd February 2017Twelfth Night, National Theatre, review
Tamsin Greig leads a superb cast in this giddy take on Shakespeare's classic comedy.
Alexandra Coghlan, The Arts Desk, 23rd February 2017Twelfth Night review
Director Simon Godwin and his doughty cast do not put a foot wrong in what must be the National Theatre's best Shakespearean production since Sir Nicholas Hytner's glorious Much Ado About Nothing, 10 years ago.
Philip Fisher, British Theatre Guide, 23rd February 2017Review: Twelfth Night at the National Theatre
In all her scene-stealing cross-gartered glory: Rosemary Waugh writes a love letter to Tamsin Greig thinly veiled as a review.
Rosemary Waugh, Exeunt Magazine, 23rd February 2017Twelfth Night at the National Theatre review
The National Theatre certainly knows how to put a cast together. In its extravagant production of Twelfth Night almost every major British sitcom from the last two decades, including Green Wing, The Office, Peep Show, The Day Today and Black Books, is represented on stage. This is the theatre flying its comedic flag high, Shakespeare's play taking on a heightened, campy tone.
