For four centuries Twelfth Night has inspired theatre directors and
performers: some have found class war; some have seen Malvolio as a
tragic hero; some have found a passive Viola and others have found
an action woman. Whether a production's emphasis is on gender
bending, festivity, or trying to reinvent Shakespeare as Chekhov,
the sheer variety of Twelfth Nights on offer over the centuries
attests to the play's power as a stimulus to theatrical creativity.
The dazzling range of the Twelfth Nights considered here includes
the productively wayward as well as the conventionally respectable,
productions which play to the contemporary market as well as those
that seek to flout tradition. This indispensable stage history
covers changing fashions in the fortunes of Twelfth Night, and
includes a survey of a wide variety of theatrical interpretations
of the play in the English-speaking world.
