About the Event

A two-hour-and-twenty-minute theatrical journey under the night sky featuring the Australian Shakespeare Company's classic comedy Twelfth Night. The production introduces Sir Toby Belch, celebrated as the originator of festive gatherings; Sir Andrew Aguecheek, portrayed as both foolish and lacking in wit; Malvolio, an ambitious religious zealot whose moral convictions collapse when manipulated by Sir Toby; Maria, a servant who cleverly outsmarts Malvolio and trains Sir Toby in household matters. Viola, a shipwrecked woman who disguises herself as a man to secure employment, Oliviaa grieving noblewoman who turns down one suitor only to fall for another while disguisedand Orsino, the Duke whose romantic feelings shift when truth and identity intersect. The Australian Shakespeare Company maintains its acclaimed tradition of Shakespeare Under the Stars, offering an evening filled with humor, affection, and poetic chaos suitable for spectators across all age groups.
