2009 Shakespeare Theatre Company Mock Trial
Malvolio v. Olivia et al.
Monday, April 6, 2009

Sidney Harman Hall
610 F Street NW
Washington, DC, 20004

At the close of the play, Malvolio promises: “I’ll be revenged on the whole pack of you.” (act 5, scene 1.) Indeed, Malvolio exacts his revenge in the form of a civil lawsuit and resultant massive jury verdict of over $10,000,000. In the subsequent appeal, former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, Esq., will represent Malvolio and Roy Englert, Esq., will represent Olivia and her household. They will examine contemporary legal issues including, but not limited to; the violation of constitutional rights, false imprisonment and emotional distress as experienced by Malvolio during the course of the play.
