Twelfth Night

Authentically all-male Shakespeare productions were a major feature of Mark Rylance's pre-'Jerusalem' life as artistic diretor of the Globe. Playing in rep with his 'Richard III', Rylance will reprise his 2002 role as the lovelorn Countess Olivia - who falls in love with a girl dressed as a boy who is actually played by a man - in 'Twelfth Night' for a limited end of season stint. And in another huge piece of casting, national treasure Stephen Fry will play opposite him as uptight steward Malvolio.
