For four centuries Twelfth Night has inspired theatre
directors and performers: some have found class war; some have seen
Malvolio as a tragic hero; some have found a passive Viola and
others have found an action woman. Whether a production’s emphasis
is on gender bending, festivity, or trying to reinvent Shakespeare
as Chekhov, the sheer variety of Twelfth Nights on offer over the
centuries attests to the play’s power as a stimulus to theatrical
creativity. The dazzling range of the Twelfth Nights considered
here includes the productively wayward as well as the
conventionally respectable, productions which play to the
contemporary market as well as those that seek to flout tradition.
This indispensable stage history covers changing fashions in the
fortunes of Twelfth Night, and includes a survey of a wide variety
of theatrical interpretations of the play in the English-speaking
world.
