Timothy Mooney’s back and he’s speeding through Shakespeare again.
I quite enjoyed his online Breakneck Comedy of Errors back in 2021 (5 stars), and the random goodness of Lot o’ Shakespeare in 2022 (5 stars again), so it’s nice to see him tackling one of my favorite Shakespearen romantic comedies, Twelfth Night. Honestly, that’s all I need to know.
