Further casting has been announced for Twelfth Night: For One Night Only at Shakespeare’s Globe. Blanche McIntyre (Measure for Measure, The Winter’s Tale, Globe Theatre; All’s Well That End’s Well, RSC) will direct the event which will feature Matthew Broome as Sebastian, Paul Chahidi as Feste, ‘Tomiwa Edun as Orsino, Richard Katz as Sir Toby Belch, Rebekah Murrell as Viola, Paul Ready as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Sirine Saba as Maria/Curio, Jacoba Williams as Fabian/Sea Captain, Howard Ward as Prompt / Valentine, and Jamie Wilkes as Antonio. They join previously announced Stephen Mangan as Malvolio and Shakespeare’s Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry as Olivia.
On Sunday 17 September in the Globe Theatre, Twelfth Night: For One Night Only will see actors step courageously into the unknown with performers only given their own lines and cues, with neither rehearsal time nor full script, done as it would have been 400 years ago. The event continues the Globe’s year-long 400th anniversary celebrations of the ‘First Folio’, without which 18 of Shakespeare’s most famous plays would have been lost to history, including Twelfth Night.
