Reihe: Shakespeare On Stage

Derek Jacobi discusses playing Malvolio, in this ebook taken from Shakespeare On Stage: Thirteen Leading Actors in Thirteen Key Roles. In each volume of the Shakespeare On Stage series, a leading actor takes us behind the scenes, recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major roles. They discuss their character, working through the play scene by scene, with refreshing candour and in forensic detail. The result is a masterclass on playing the role, invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare - and fascinating for audiences of the play. In this volume, Derek Jacobi discusses his hilariously poker-faced Malvolio in Michael Grandage's 2008 production of Twelfth Night. This interview, together with the others in the series (with actors such as Judi Dench, Ian McKellen and Jude Law), is also available in the collection Shakespeare On Stage: Thirteen Leading Actors on Thirteen Key Rolesby Julian Curry, with a foreword by Trevor Nunn.

Derek Jacobi is an acclaimed British actor. On screen, his best known work includes I, Claudius (for which he won a BAFTA), Gladiator and The King's Speech. A founding member of the Royal National Theatre, he won a Tony Award in 1983 and Evening Standard Award in 1984 for his performance in Much Ado About Nothing, and an Olivier Award in 2009 for Twelfth Night.
