About the Event
A two-hour-and-twenty-minute theatrical experience under the night sky featuring the Australian Shakespeare Company's classic comedy Twelfth Night. The production stars Sir Toby Belch, celebrated for inventing party culture; Sir Andrew Aguecheek, an unintelligent and comically inept nobleman; Malvolio, a rigid puritan whose moral standing collapses when manipulated by Sir Toby; and Maria, the maid who cleverly outsmarts Malvolio while training Sir Toby. Viola, a shipwrecked young woman disguised as a man to secure employment, navigates the plot alongside Olivia, a sorrowful noblewoman who turns down one suitor only to be captivated by another in disguise, and Orsino, the Duke whose affection shifts dramatically when truth and identity clash. The Australian Shakespeare Company maintains its acclaimed tradition of Shakespeare Under the Starsa night filled with mirth, romance, and poetic chaos suitable for audiences across all generations.
