Description
"Twelfth Night" is the happiest and most lyrical of Shakespeare's comedies. In this delightful romp of deception and romance, when the lovely Viola (played by Siobhan McKenna) disguises herself as a young man, she quickly falls in love with the Duke she serves. The Duke in turn sends the disguised Viola to woo his lady - the feisty and impetuous Olivia (portrayed by Vanessa Redgrave). Olivia becomes smitten with the young man Viola impersonates, and all careens to a happy resolution by the play's end. Supported by Paul Scofield, Willoughby Goddard and John Neville, who undertake the play's comic parts, this is a joyful and engaging recording.
