RSC's Twelfth Night (1988) - Viola/Cesario, Orsino and Olivia.

I do NOT own the footage or the audio featured. I'm just posting it for entertainment purposes only, no profit is made.

I think this is one of the best versions of the play that I've seen and it's such a shame it doesn't get much recognition as such nowadays.

More Info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324342/

There are two scenes: the first between Viola/Cesario and Orsino discussing the nature of love and lovers (II, iv) and the other between Orsino, Olivia and Viola/Cesario, near the end of the play (V, i), before everything is set right.

Cast - in this video: Frances Barber (Viola/Cesario), Christopher Ravenscroft (Duke Orsino), Anton Lesser (Feste) and Caroline Langrishe (Olivia).

Enjoy!

@kanwi You can find it in Amazon as "Twelfth Night (Thames Shakespeare Collection) (1988)"

fantastic, thank you. rsc's take is interestingly dark and heavy. this is typically one of the more romantic scenes in the play, usually done during the day, here it's a somber and sincere atmosphere.

@TheImpossibleMan I'm very glad you liked it! Your comments are spot on, and those are the reasons why I uploaded these bits of this wonderful version. =)
