(06/2024)

I recently watched the 2nd series of this show and the scene where Bisma sings 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' was one of the most poignant and emotional scenes I've ever seen so I wanted to create a piece inspired by that moment!

Twelfth Night – “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”

Jo Davies makes her Royal Exchange debut by bringing Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night to the theatre. In this production Faith Omole (Viola), Kevin Harvey (Orsino) and Mina Anwar (Maria) return and Anthony Calf takes on the role of Malvolio. 

No stranger to the LGBT scene in Manchester, award-winning transgender artist and activist Kate O’Donnell makes her Royal Exchange debut in the role of Feste, the wise observer in this foolish, lovesick kingdom and she does an excellent job. Washed up on the shores of Illyria after a ship-wreck, Viola hides her true identity by disguising herself as a man. Finding a job and love at the court of Duke Orsino, Viola becomes muddled in mistaken identities when her disguise begins to cause more problems than it solves. Omole takes charge of the stage throughout with a faultless performance as she dominates the stage in her quest for love. Sebastian (Daniel Francis-Swaby) comes into his own in the second half as the story unravels and reaches its conclusion. With some of Shakespeare’s most popular characters caught up in this outrageous tale of misadventure, the comic activity of Simon Armstrong (Sir Toby Belch) and Harry Attwell (Sir Andrew Aguecheek) is superb and you arrive at a point where you just don’t want it to stop. When mixed with Mina Anwar’s (Maria) performance and Kate O’Donnell, you know that what you are witnessing is some of the best comic display theatre has to produce. Famously Orsino says “if music be the food of love, play on”, and indeed live music plays a major part in this production and is used to extraordinary effect. From the opening chant sung by the critically acclaimed folk musician Kate Young to the unusual technique and sounds from lap-tap guitarist Joe Gravil the play revolves around the presence of the music and adds to the complexity of this comedy. Kate O’Donnell brings this production to end with a reflective and tranquil ending and you would indeed be a “fool” to miss this stunning production.
