I, Malvolio

Local actor Tim Crouch brought his critically acclaimed ‘I, Malvolio’ to a packed house, for a triumphant return to the city where it first premiered in 2010. The fourth in a series of solo plays written for young audiences, Crouch describes it as; “looking at things through the eyes of Shakespeare’s lesser known characters.” We were treated to an hour of intensely moving tragi-comedy, funny and intelligent, self-deprecating and mocking. Crouch’s fine sense of comic timing, his improvised interaction with the audience and ability to weave his narrative across the many levels of the play was a joy to experience. Unmissable.
