	Literature Film Quarterly: Inter-cutting in Trevor Nunn's Twelfth Night
		Nunn has made the counterpoint between the main plot and subplot more immediate and explicit, and therefore more effective for contemporary viewers through text cuts and changes, especially through inter-cutting (alternating shots from two or more sequences to suggest parallel action).
		Nunn's quick cutaways to Malvolio's and Olivia's bedchambers during this sequence are once again merely an acceleration of the process set in motion by Shakespeare's structure.
		Nunn structures the intercut sequence with great care, cleverly using Shakespeare's lines as sound cues, cutting away to illustrate a line from a song, or to connect the dialogue spoken in one locale with that of the other.

	[EMLS 8.1 (May, 2002]: 1.1-38 Trevor Nunn's Twelfth Night: Contemporary Film and Classic British Theatre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Nunn's film, on the surface, steers clear of the "cutting-edge": its style is verbal, meditative and restrained - in short, "British." The performances are muted, the text relatively undisturbed, the poetry well spoken and expressive, the cinematography unobtrusive.
		Nunn's biggest transformation of the text takes place here, as he inter-cuts scenes of the singing in the kitchen with shots of Olivia alone in bed, and of Viola with Orsino, so that Feste's one song can weave around the shared dilemma of all three women: time is short, options are limited.
		Nunn's iambic pentameter prologue, with its hints at rhyme and its antique diction ("Dauntless, her brother plunges in the main") is in keeping with the 19th-century history of the text.

		Nunn even had his own Henry Higgins: "I experienced a mentor, a completely extraordinary man for whom I had a kind of idolatry." He was called Peter Hewett, a teacher who directed Nunn's school play.
		Nunn clearly believes that a certain amount of this is personal.
		Although Nunn will be remembered for his controversial musicals, he stresses that "when South Pacific opens, it will be the fifth musical production the NT has initiated in five years, out of 82 shows".

		In case you are confused, and given that Trevor Nunn doesn't actually act Hamlet in Trevor Nunn's Hamlet, did Trevor Nunn perhaps write Trevor Nunn's Hamlet.
		Trevor Nunn's Hamlet wasn't actually written by Trevor Nunn at all, but by William Shakespeare (1564-1616).
		Trevor Nunn just told the actors where to stand and organised the rehearsals.

	Shakespeare Magazine ~ The Dark Pleasures of Trevor Nunn's Twelfth Night
		Nunn has chosen to set the film in a 19th-century Illyria (actually mostly filmed in Cornwall) because it is a world where the gender gap is strongly seen both in the extreme contrast of clothing (Nunn calls it "the dress silhouettes") and in social attitudes.
		But she then has to negotiate the world of male activity: she must relearn how to walk or how to yawn and learn new skills like fencing or, most awkwardly for her, how to have a conversation with her master while Orsino is in the bath.
		Nunn, rightly, believes that Feste is the "cement" that binds "the contrasting ingredients together." In Ben Kingsley’s moving performance, Feste becomes an outsider, a man who lives alone away from Olivia’s house but who sees everything and understands it as well.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Trevor Nunn bids farewell
		Nunn signals it immediately at the start of his production in an arresting opening scene that ignites the stage with gunshots and explosions and it is a war-torn montage that ends the staging, as well.
		Dramatically sometimes clumsy and convoluted, Nunn and his designer John Gunter have given it some unity by setting it on a stage that is dominated by a giant tree and grass-covered stage.
		Nunn, meanwhile, may be leaving the National, but he won't be idle for long - in May, he turns up to re-open the Almeida by directing Natasha Richardson in Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea.

		Sir Trevor Nunn has commanded the two most prestigious posts in British Theatre as Artistic Director of both the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre.
		Trevor’s talents go across the theatrical board: from the classics to Broadway, from the commercial to the experimental, and back by way of the opera and the musical.
		Trevor Nunn has directed more unequivocally great shows than anyone I can think of; his influence on our theatre has been profound; he has run both the big subsidised theatres with overwhelming success.

	TIME: Smooth Takeoff
		By JULIE K.L. hen Trevor Nunn took over as artistic director of the Royal National Theatre last October, many critics complained that he was too safe a choice compared to the much-hyped Young Turks who have emerged in Britain's renascent theatrical landscape.
		Not About Nightingales, which Nunn directed himself, is that rarity that everyone in the theater world dreams about: a world premiere of a master playwright's lost work.
		Nunn's rediscovery of the play--after poring over some 50 works--was an extension of a career-long obsession, which had previously led to the revival of Dion Boucicault's London Assurance and John O'Keeffe's Wild Oats.

	New Statesman: The cap of youth: Trevor Nunn's wonderfully fresh production presents the prince as a morose teenager (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Trevor Nunn's decision to cast very young actors as Hamlet and Ophelia produces a new take on the play--one that is perhaps nearer to what Shakespeare intended, as the text hints that the Prince of Denmark is 18 years old.
		Nunn presents him as a morose adolescent passing through his anger phase.
		Nunn reminds us that the Renaissance mind must have been terrorised by competing beliefs and superstitions.

		Nunn was astute enough to cast an opera baritone, Willard White (whom you might have seen as a magnificent Porgy on an EMI video of the Gershwin work), in the title role.
		Nunn has given Imogen Stubbs all the right moves for Desdemona; but I find her voice a little squeaky and her physical appearance a little too girlish to bear the weight of the role.
		Trevor Nunn has given us an amazing production as he has done so before with "Porgy and Bess", "The Merchant of Venice", and "Oklahoma" shattering all set stereotypes.

		And I realised that Nunn’s extraordinary pioneering achievements have perhaps been somewhat obscured by the emphasis on the success of his more spectacular ventures, such as Les Miserables and Cats.
		And Nunn throughout his career somehow always found the time and energy to defy the boxes we put people in and contribute legendary work inside and outside the buildings and institutions he ran, as well as in opera, TV and film.
		We are proud and delighted that Sir Trevor Nunn has agreed to accept the 2003 award.

		Trevor Nunn gives not an evil and plotting Shylock but a bitter and angry Shylock, a complex Shylock.
		However, Nunn's interpretation is that by singing this song, she's saying, "You may have broken a Jewish man but his daughter's still around and she won't take the crap he had to take every day of his life." It's a haunting ending.
		Nunn has given us a version of the play that should be considered the definitive production of the play.

	The Playgoer: Trevor Nunn
		Cleopatra playing "billiards"; an ancient Briton mocked as a "base football player"; Pistol, living in early 15th-century London, characterised as a regular at the Playhouse - these were all part of Shakespeare's preference to keep his audience colloquially involved and in a state of spontaneous recognition rather than satisfied scholarship.
		Nunn's subject is not the damage done to Shakespeare by ill-informed attempts to take his name off his work, but by the glut of directorial super-concepts which have drowned out any foundational or "traditional" sense of the original texts:
		For many years now, as post-modernism came to dominate every European opera house and revival came to mean deconstruction, I have felt a pang of sympathy for young people or students who may be seeing a play for the first time and have no idea what conventional representations are being rebelled against.

	News \| Film Reviews
		Trevor Nunn’s Twelfth Night, released in 1996, is a handsome adaptation, well cast and eminently watchable.
		Typically played large and largely for laughs, Nunn instead imbues the secondary characters with an atypically subtle life “beyond the text,” as it were.
		Shakes-peare was a crowd-pleaser, first and foremost, and Nunn’s efforts to add subtlety where there are no grounds for it undermine the Bard’s original intentions: to be funny, to give the groundlings a solid two hours entertainment.

		Trevor Nunn's Twelfth Night sits up on the same pedestal as Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing.
		Nunn does a wonderful job of keeping most of Shakespeare's comedy in-tact, editing only when neccessary to appease a film audience (most noticeable in Viola's famous "I left no ring with her" monologue being broken up throughout the film).

		Trevor Nunn has taken the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of the play and put it on the screen.
		Those who are familiar with this very serious drama may find Nunn's interpretation a bit cavalier — especially the comic depiction of some of the characters.
