Twelfth Night Albery Theatre, London WC2
'If music be the food of love, play on...' becomes a torrid line in director Stephen Beresford's lovely Indian Twelfth Night . On a spacious verandah,with walls of distempered amber and verdigris (designer Jonathan Fensom), the play basks in a new latitude. Feste (Kulvinder Ghir) has exotic licence as a fool (he outstays his welcome, as fools will). The other comics are arrestingly complex also: Paul Bhattacharjee's craven Malvolio is unusually upsetting. Paul Bazely's killing Sir Andrew Aguecheek knows neither his own mind or body. Love interests never dim: Neha Dubey's Olivia is an Indian princess, transformed from severe mourner to gleeful girl by a crush. But Shereen Martineau's Viola is the evening's steadiest star, ready to risk a slowing of pace to express serious ardour - a real discovery.
