- cast
Taking the ending of Twelfth Night as its starting point, Malvolios weaves a fantastical tale, catapulting the character from his Shakespearian moment of painful humiliation into the here and now.
Gracie Gardner’s delightfully quirky play examines the shattering of a personality through rejection. Our Malvolio splits into twelve eccentric selves - each a clear facet of the personality in crisis, and each seething with competing desires and needs.
At times zany and irreverent, this comic exploration also offers poignant reflections on who we are individually, and on our need to belong. How does anyone process, and ultimately cope with being shunned? How can these twelve damaged Malvolios reconcile and make a virtue of their experience?
Or will they simply be - “revenged upon you all!”
Malvolio must ultimately decide whether he wants to re-engage with the slings and arrows of social interaction, enjoying what there is to be had, even if more pain lies in wait.
