For all of its incorporation of modern themes such as the plight of refugees, the film successfully retains the magical ‘otherworldliness’ of Illyria – a land in suspended animation thanks to the lovelorn inertia of its ruler and the studied, withdrawn grief of the woman he admires. The lead role Viola is played by Parminda Nagra following her recent success in the popular film Bend It Like Beckham. Co-staring with Parminder are Chiwetel Ejiofar (Orsino), described by The Observer as ‘one of Britain’s finest young actors’, following his compelling performance in Stephen Frears’ new film Dirty Pretty Things, and Michael Maloney (Malvolio), of Truly, Madly, Deeply fame and a regular with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The setting is contemporary with Viola and Sebastian presented as asylum seekers on their arrival in Illyria. Nitin Sawhney, one of the UK’s most successful contemporary composers, has composed the music.
