Matt Roush says...
The Shakespeare classic of mistaken identity gets a vibrant new reinterpretation in a Great Performances presentation of the production that reopened the iconic Delacorte Theater this summer in New York’s Central Park. Lupita Nyong’o stars opposite her brother Junior as twins Viola and Sebastian, separated in a shipwreck. Complications ensue when Viola, disguised as a man named Cesario, falls for Duke Orsino (Khris Davis), whose wooing of Countess Olivia (Sandra Oh) takes a turn when Olivia is attracted to the faux Cesario. The starry cast includes Peter Dinklage as Olivia’s vain steward, Malvolio, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as another hapless suitor, Andrew Aguecheek.
