“Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no obje…” — Tim Crouch

'I, Malvolio' is a very, very funny show, a clown show, but there is Beckettian darkness in the character. Some real darkness, some right close to the edge of despair moments.

In 'Malvolio,' the audience laugh at me, and I use that laughter to crack open the question as to why they are laughing.

It's quite rare for a group of people to come together for a live event that isn't loud music. A live event that enables thinking to take place, to take place collectively. It's unique to theatre. It's a quality I never want to see diminished.

Each of my Shakespeare pieces is different to the other, but each espouses a set of philosophies common to all my theatre work.
