Malvolio's Revenge
Recommended by
- Doug DeVita:14 Nov. 2020“ How wonderful! Duncan Pflaster has provided a sequel to Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT that is so smooth a continuation one thinks he was not only inspired by, but guided by the hand of old Will himself. (Pflaster's mastery of Shakespearian language is enviable.) Read this if you want to have a gay old time seeing what (might have) happened to all those wacky gender-benders on Illyria. Or just read it, period! Better yet, produce it. Cakes and Ale for everyone! ”
- Hayley St. James:29 Oct. 2020“ Twelfth Night’s one of my very favorite plays, and Duncan Pflaster’s gone and written it a sequel! Queering the canon in a truly delightful way, this full-length follow-up in verse and prose is so much fun! The Bard would be pleased, I hope. I’d love nothing more than to see it run in repertory with the original play. ”
