I love Feste. He's one of my favorite Shakespearean characters EVER. Ben Kingsley did a lovely job playing him.

I am playing Viola in a thirty-minute version of Twelfth Night. But I do love Feste.

@Nirshan30 Hehehee, I think he's exaggerating the accent here. Ben Kinglsey's actually of indian descending.

Real name Krishna Bhanji-.

Every time i see Imelda i see Umbridge. its quite a shock not to see her terrorizing...

[Nirshan30]
