Synopsis
“I’ll be revenged on the whole pack of you.”
Twelfth Night is re-imagined in this brilliant one-man show unlocking Shakespeare’s play and telling a timeless story of bullying, prudery and practical jokes.
Performed by Tim Crouch, one of Britain’s most innovative and respected theatre-makers – and a hugely experienced exponent of Shakespeare for young people – I, Malvolio is a charged, hilarious and sometimes unsettling rant from a man adrift in front of a cruel audience.
Part abject clown, part theatre-hating disciplinarian, Malvolio asks his audience to explore the pleasure we take in other people’s suffering. This is a show for anyone who has ever been told off, called a name or has fallen in love with the wrong person.
Suitable for 11+ years
Running time: approx. 1 hr

Reviews
I, Malvolio still stands stunningly as its own piece, unfolding to become less about Shakespeare’s work and more about the audience witnessing this play.
