Review 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 2017Theatre review: Twelfth Night, Olivier
Tamsin Greig's lovestruck spoilsport is a knockout.
Ann Treneman, The Times, 24th February 2017Twelfth Night - a production for our times
Tamsin Greig is a master/mistress of her po-faced comedy in Godwin's revival.
Ian Shuttleworth, The Financial Times, 24th 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 2017BWW review: Twelfth Night, National Theatre
Suffused with grief and unrequited love, Twelfth Night is often played as an anti-comedy - more melancholy than mirthful. Not so in Simon Godwin's brash, gender-bending, utterly joyful rendering, which takes loss as a cue to embrace life
Marianka Swain, Broadway World, 23rd February 2017Interview: Tamsin Grieg on starring in Twelfth Night
It's not about 'shoving a square peg into a round hole', Greig says, but testing the boundaries.
Robert Dex, Evening Standard, 23rd February 2017Twelfth Night at The National Theatre - review
At a running time of around three hours including interval, there is nothing left out of this version of Twelfth Night but it's surprising how the time flies. This is a fun production with the emphasis on the many comedic elements of the story rather than dwelling on the melodramatic side. Everyone plays their part to produce a really great evening's entertainment and present the Bard at his absolute best.
Terry Eastham, London Theatre, 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.
