"Cardiff Shakespeare Readers" is a group for people to get together and experience ALL the great playwright's works as they were intended - spoken aloud! |
"Puritans may be a threat but one way to deal with something you find nauseatingly objectionable is to make fun of it. Elizabethan audiences arguably would have loved seeing Malvolio, a party-pooper, being totally embarrassed and degraded. Shakespeare puts a sting in the tail when he gives Malvolio his parting shot: I’ll be revenged on the whole pack of you’. Within forty years, events in England would prove him right." For full script of Stephen Whitehead's illuminating introduction to Twelfth Night click here. CSR read Twelfth Night on 10th January 2010. Next reading: Twelfth Night, Sunday Feb 28th 2010, 6.30pm, MEDIA POINT, Chapter, Cardiff. |
