By the fangs of malice I swear, I am not that I play...

 

Shakespeare’s glittering comedy inhabits the world of a decayed but decadent Victorian music hall in Pell Mell’s darkly thrilling new production. Orsino, a brilliant and maniacal master of ceremonies, is desperate to regain the services of Olivia, his former leading lady, lost in a sinkhole of depression ever since the death of her brother. The only one who can bring a smile back to her face is Orsino’s newest recruit, the clown Cesario, a youth with remarkable talents, not only for avoiding uncomfortable questions about the past but also, it seems, for appearing in two places at once…

 

Using Shakespeare’s stunningly lyric text alongside a wide range of live music, dance, burlesque and circus performance Pell Mell's bold and boisterous exploration of love, madness and identity exploded into Canary Wharf at The Space Theatre in August 2015.

 

*****

This is basically Shakespeare at it's best... a wonderful evening's entertainment, I wish I could give it 12 stars but alas, 5 will have to do!
