I still cant get over that Shakespeare wrote that self-deprecating "What is your parentage" joke. It sounds so modern when read aloud.

I think he "originally" wrote it simply as Olivia repeating the conversation to herself (there's no dismayed "Oh my God" in the text), but never has this line made me laugh like this production! This is the ingenuity of these performers. It's all in the delivery.
I didn’t know how superbly funny Olivia was till I saw Mark Rylance play her. One of the best plays ever
Mark Rylance's skill at using stammers and hesitations, pauses and nervous giggles to add color and almost a new rhythm to his lines is quite unique; his special skill. He doesn't dry; those are all calculated.
The whole cast was on point, but Rylance was truly exceptional as Olivia. One of the funniest performances I’ve ever seen
This moment in particular was UNREAL. Mark was SUCH A WOMAN! A truly legendary inspirational performance. I will remember it forever.
A man playing a woman who fancies someone she thinks is a man but is actually a woman, and they are also played by a man. 👏
Marl Rylance is just SO good! He is so impressive, how does someone play Shakespeare so naturally? I am in awe.
This was the best version ever. The Globe has never been able to top this.
Best production of Twelfth Night ever! Easy to see how Mark Rylance won the Tony fir this!
I have always found Shakespeare very contemporary, especially in plays which explore gender dynamics. After viewing this production it is hard to accept a real woman as Olivia ! Sir mark will always be Olivia to me ! They all have brought out very fine comic nuances in the dialogues , turning it into a lovely romantic comedy. Every little pause adds to the fun. Stephan fry as Malvolio is another gem in this play.! More please !
A stunning performance.
sooo funny ... Shakespeare should also get a nomination for the script.....
Mark Rylance you are the best!
Brilliant
this actually makes sence...a man playing a woman and the idea of a man on how aw woman acts...brilliant. i said this be more close to those plays than the melodramatic plays we get somewhere else.
The 'Oh my god' is an insertion, to emphasize that they are playing 'what is your parentage?' as a 'D'oh! moment for Olivia. In other performances, she just knuckles her forehead and shakes her head (You dummy!) In the play it's a straight question with a straight answer and she replays it after he leaves to analyse his answer.
Interesting in the blocking switch from the original production (They're sitting on opposite sides), though the exit sides of the stage remain..Minor of course but I wonder why? It's also a little less in intense in 'his' outrage at being offered the coin..-- but such a wonderful production(I've only seen the Old Globe version on video)
Go Samuel B)
where can we watch this play on the internet?

Who played Malvolio in this production? Stephen Fry ended up on the DVD and he's fine but there's a touch of celebrity casting about it and I'd prefer someone a bit more 'Globe Company.'
Is anyone else here for an english lesson?
I can't decide whether Mark forgot his lines here or not. I have the DVD where the same thing happens.

Later on, when Viola realizes that Olivia is in love with her, she comments that Olivia had been stuttering and speaking in starts when they were together. Mark didn't forget his lines, he was just delivering them very well.

I saw him live as iago - he was stuttering on stage then as well. I don't think it's a natural stutter - I think he uses it to give the language more space to breathe and to emphasise the humanity of the writing
