‘Director Wils Wilson’s bonkers kaleidoscope of wayward magic… The show’s eccentric delights are endless, making this a triumph of the psychedelic imagination’ *****The List
‘You get a sense of the playfulness of Wils Wilson’s trippy take on Shakespeare’s romcom when she introduces the twins. Viola is tall with an afro and an English accent. Sebastian is short, pale and Scottish. This is a comedy that depends on the interchangeability of lookalike siblings, washed up and separated on the shores of Illyria, so it’s doubly funny when they look totally different. They’re twins because they say so. Get over it… While Shakespeare played with the slipperiness of appearances, Wilson has fun with the fluidity of identity.’ ****Guardian
‘This wild and slightly anarchic Twelfth Night party, with its gorgeous set and costumes by Ana Ines Jabares-Pita, lit to perfection by Kai Fischer, in scenes that sometimes look like accidental Renaissance paintings; and with Dylan Read’s brilliantly whimsical Feste leading the company to a conclusion as sad and wise as it is playful, the Lyceum offers us a Shakespeare to remember, not for the traditionally-minded or the faint-hearted, but full of visual richness, passion, poetry and thought.’ ****The Scotsman
‘Powerful and hugely entertaining… Christopher Green’s Malvolio is an uptight bowler-hatted clerk with an outrageous drag queen hidden in his closet.’ ****The Stage
‘Composer Meilyr Jones provides a gorgeous baroque pop soundtrack, which draws apposite parallel lines between Elizabethan folk and contemporary psych indie, and he sings beautifully onstage as enigmatic minstrel Curio in massive silver stack heels.’ *****The List
