"Maria as a flapper girl, Orsino as Noel Coward in smoking jacket, Antonio as a Chicago gangster, the entire cast breaking into the Charleston better than anything in 'No No Nanette', its all preposterous. But the Bankside Globe Playhouse's production of 'Twelfth Night' transplanted into the 1920's succeeds brilliantly." Valerie Jenkins, Evening Standard 28.6.73. Opening Date: 26 July 1973; Theatre: Bankside Globe.
