Actor confronts humor, pain in Shakespeare comedy
Print Edition
THE one-man stage show “I, Malvolio” is the story of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” as told by that play’s much abused steward. The Guardian has described it as “by turns a hysterical and harrowing study of thwarted dignity, cruelty, bullying, self-hatred and metatheatrical revenge.” Written by and staring British theater pioneer Tim Crouch, “I, Malvolio” is funny and moving and gently provokes an understanding of the cruelty carried out in the name of fun.
Following the success of “I, Caliban,” “I, Peaseblossom” and “I, Banquo,” Crouch returns with “I, Malvolio,” for which he won the Best Male Performer Award at the Brighton Festival in 2010.
In a performance close to standup comedy, Crouch appears as the pompous, theater-despising, puritan steward from “Twelfth Night,” following his humiliation at the end of that play. A story of lost dignity, prudery, practical jokes and bullying, this one man act of storytelling alchemy draws us deep into the madness of Shakespeare’s classic comedy.
