  • Vince Gatton: Malvolio's Revenge by Duncan Pflaster
    “

    A sequel to Twelfth Night that's a charming, funny, and thoughtful winner. Refreshingly modern in its notions of gender and sexuality while staying fully grounded in the world of the original, Pflaster gives us a respectful and respectable pastiche of Shakespeare (including some delicious wordplay) that's fun and funny without devolving into spoof or parody. (There's a "Good Knight" bit that heads into "Who's on First" territory in a great way.) Made with (and about) love and care, Malvolio's Revenge sees 12th Night's happy ending, and gets it, sure, but...has a few questions.

    A great sequel to 12th Night that addresses all those questionable endings. Was it really happily ever after? Pflaster delivers on Shakespeare's promise of Malvolio's Revenge. So many great roles for actors, and fantastic characterization that captures the true spirit of the original. Purposeful and poignant, this sequel is not fluffy fan fiction, it's (in our times) necessary examination.

    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!

    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.
