When the decision was made by Britain’s Channel 4 to film a TV adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the result was a gloriously irreverent, deliciously colorful production in which the twins Viola and Sebastian—Parminder Nagra and Ronny Jhutti—are re-imagined as shipwrecked asylum seekers adrift in a surreal contemporary London. In this fascinating four-part series, the people who made it all happen explain how it was done. Clips from the movie are included throughout. 4-part series, 25 minutes each.
