Our daughter got me hooked on GF late last year. I think I'll need to avoid that link until I've got the time to sink.
One of the things I adore about Twelfth Night in general is how well it handles being reinterpreted (perhaps more than any other Shakespeare play), even without a reinvention like Grossman's (the Harvard production last Spring at a rock festival, with Feste as a pot dealer, remains one of my favorites). Malvolio has such potential for tragedy underlying his humor, and there's such a fine line directors can walk when it comes to how cruel they want to be (or, perhaps, how merited that cruelty is).
