Synopsis
Cecil Picket's skills at cutting long plays to contest length are well demonstrated in this adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy about the twins, Viola and Sebastian, who were shipwrecked and washed ashore in Illyria. Using clowns and jesters to make the simple scene changes, Pickett produces a fast-moving play uninterrupted by blackouts or curtains. The favorite characters—Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Malvolio, Maria, the beautiful countess Olivia and the handsome duke Orsino—are all present to help entertain audiences and win contests.
