I, malvolio

Twelfth Night told from the loser’s perspective. I, Malvolio is a charged and often unsettling rant from a man “notoriously wronged”, a man adrift in front of cruel spectators. This one-man show, written and performed by Tim Crouch, is a story of lost dignity, prudery, practical jokes and bullying. Age 11+.

30 and 31 May
