Writer-director Foster’s production has an enjoyably end-of-the-pier charm about it. He and Philpott work their way through multiple costumes arranged on coat stands, making it all feel like a cosy game of charades.

Overall, the production is chaotic, jubilant, and fun, which is exactly what you want from a Shakespeare comedy...Like the music, the production is a bit of a melting pot with something for everyone: romance, comedy, even a bit of violence.

In this playful, cross-dressing exploration of mistaken identity, the Globe’s artistic director, Michelle Terry, makes a winningly fragile Viola. There’s even more to enjoy in the fruity, resonant delivery of Ciaran O’Brien’s dandyish Sebastian.

It is a production with many tonal variations, from love sickness and romance to drunken revelry and the bitter aftertaste left by Malvolio’s cruel gulling, but all its parts are carefully entwined and contain an impeccable artistry.

The only duff note is drawing cynical laughs via exaggerated regional accents. Otherwise, this Twelfth Night comes close to achieving greatness.
