Description:

------------------------------------------------------

The story takes place in the aftermath of a shipwreck, as twins Viola and Sebastian crawl from the wreckage. A confusing and comedic tale subsequently unfolds, with Viola disguising herself as a man, and finding affection in some strange places. Shot for British television, Branagh's TWELFTH NIGHT is a welcome addition to the oeuvre of screen adaptations of Shakespeare's works.



The Shakespearean ballad performed by Feste - "Come Away Death" - borrows an adapted melody from Paul McCartney's song "Once Upon A Long Ago". McCartney graciously donated the melody of his song for Kenneth Branagh's original stage production of Twelfth Night, performed by the Renaissance Theatre Company, and allowed the melody to be used in the film version.
