“I’ll be revenged on the whole pack of you”
I, Malvolio re-imagines Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night from the point of view of its most notoriously abused steward.

Part abject clown, part theatre-hating disciplinarian, Malvolio asks his audience to explore the pleasure we take in other people’s suffering.
