Description The characters rolled out of a wardrobe on to a stage that looked like Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights; his Toby Belch was a reincarnation of Bacchus, his Aguecheek a superannuated little lord Fauntleroy; his Orsino had a Teutonic, and his Maria a Scottish accent. William Dart's music was inspired by the 1930s cafe dansant and included a tango played by net-stockinged hostesses on two violas.
