Twelfth Night; Director, Peter Hall; Designer, Timothy O'Brien; Photograher, Donald Cooper (ahds.ac.uk/performingarts); February 1991.

"Timothy O'Brien has designed a Caroline Illyria. In Orsino's court a chandelier hangs above dark-stained floorboards. Everyone wears Cavelier costume. Beyond the court is a glorious autumnal prospect - apple trees and falling brown leaves - which dips down to a stretch of mist shrouded water." Christopher Edwards, Spectator 9.3.91, Opening Date: 28 February 1991; Theatre: Playhouse.

As in this setting, Caroline opulence provides a plasusible and accessible version of Renaissance sophistication.
