Review: Twelfth Night - NT Live
Michael Cox reviews 'a very enjoyable staging of one of Shakespeare's best comedies'.
Michael Cox, Across The Arts, 20th April 2017Review: Twelfth Night, National Theatre
The National Theatre's promotional campaign for Simon Godwin's new Twelfth Night has been all Tamsin Greig, all the time.
Dan Rubins, A Younger Theatre, 27th February 2017Twelfth 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 Grieg is brilliant
Simon Godwin's well-cast production has a rich sense of fun, writes Henry Hitchings.
Henry Hitchins, Evening Standard, 23rd February 2017Twelfth 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.
Natasha Tripney, The Stage, 23rd February 2017Twelfth 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.
Domininc Cavendish, The Telegraph, 23rd February 2017Twelfth 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.
Michael Billington, The Guardian, 23rd 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.
