Twelfth night

Michael Maloney, Josette Simon and Anne-Marie Duff star in Shakespeare's most sparkling and optimistic comedy. BBC radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard. In the acclaimed BBC Radio Shakespeare series, each play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre. Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

  • "Twelfth Night is an impeccably crafted comedy of an extremely unusual love triangle. It features many of the themes that carry through the playwright's works, making it essential reading for lovers of Shakespeare and English literature alike. In the kingdom of Illyria, Lady Olivia mourns her brother as Orsino's hopeless love for her goes unanswered. After a shipwreck, Viola comes ashore, believing her own brother dead. To gain entry into Olivia's home, Viola dis- guises herself as a man and goes by the name Cesario. Viola falls in love with Orsino, notwithstanding Orsino's love for Olivia or the fact that he believes Viola to be a man. Compounding matters, Olivia in turn is struck with love for Cesario, setting the stage for a play of unparalleled cleverness."@en

  • "One of Shakespeare's best loved comedies devises a romantic plot around separated twins, misplaced passions, and mistaken identity. Juxtaposed to it is the satirical story of a self-deluded steward who dreams of becoming a Count only to receive his comeuppance at the hands of the merrymakers he wishes to suppress. The two plots combine to create a farce touched with melancholy, mixed throughout with seductively beautiful explorations on the themes of love and time, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown's sad song."@en
