About the show

This sumptuous production of Twelfth Night featured Adrian Edmondson as the hapless Malvolio and Kara Tointon as his love interest Olivia. Director Christopher Luscombe chose a late Victorian setting for his visually rich production which appealed to both the critics and the audience. Taking inspiration from Queen Victoria's relationship with her Indian attendant Abdul Karim, Viola (Dinita Gohil) and Sebastian (Esh Alladi) were Indian twins marooned in 1890s England while Beruce Khan's Feste was an Indian retainer in Olivia's (Kara Tointon) household.
