Can you recognise the comic actress in her latest role?

Why has she dared to be seen on stage in a Ms Trunchball-style outfit and long hair?

Twelfth Night review: Tamsin Grieg is brilliant

Simon Godwin's well-cast production has a rich sense of fun, writes Henry Hitchings.

Twelfth Night review: 'Tamsin Greig is resplendent'

Twelfth Night has always been a play of abandon. Characters slip on different costumes, different gender identities, they shuck off their solemnity, they let loose.

Twelfth Night review: Tamsin Greig shines

It's hit and miss - or hit and mister (whatever suits); more a straightforward romp than a strange tragicomedy of unrequited love and mistaken identity. Doon Mackichan's Feste the clown is surprisingly low-key but then she's upstaged by the confused whirligig of larkiness around her. Recommended then? Yes, just, sure, but to my mind it's six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Twelfth Night review: Greig's brilliant in fun show

Simon Godwin's inventive gender-fluid production of Shakespeare's most perfect comedy has a vital elan and some great performances.

Twelfth 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.

Watching unPC sitcoms should be part of the curriculum

The BBC's remakes of Till Death Us Do Part and Are You Being Served? are only to be appreciated through the filter of irony. But things like It Ain't Half Hot Mum weren't malicious.

James Delingpole, The Spectator, 1st September 2016

With the exception of the Siddiquis from Gogglebox, the Goodmans are arguably the funniest family on British telly right now. Each episode of Robert Popper's sitcom highlights the chemistry between Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal, Tamsin Greig and Paul Ritter. This week, Uncle Saul's funeral means Martin's mum - AKA Horrible Grandma - is back in town, making Adam and Jonny's squabbling seem good-natured by comparison.
