...every character expand from comic stereotype to reality, exploiting, to the full the scope and potential of Samuels's approach--not to mention the richness of the play itself. An unfunny Malvolio is inconceivable, but the part can easily become unbelievable or grotesque.

Indeed, the script provides an opportunity for her to mirror their situation, which she avoids by tactful, exemplary retreat. Like her creator, she is content with compassion and the wisdom that accrues to those who observe life clearly and without resort to dubious generalizations. Bless them both...
