Twelfth Night

Sir Toby Belch is credited as the inventor of partying; Sir Andrew Aguecheek has lost his intelligence and remains naturally foolish; Malvolio, a power-hungry puritan, experiences a dramatic moral fall when manipulated by Sir Toby; Maria, the housemaid, outwits Malvolio and trains him in household duties. Viola is a shipwrecked girl who cross-dresses as a boy to secure employment; Olivia is a grieving noblewoman who rejects one suitor only to fall for another while disguised; Orsino is the lovesick Duke whose heart changes direction when truth and identity collide. The Australian Shakespeare Company continues its celebrated tradition of Shakespeare Under the Stars, offering an evening filled with laughter, romance, and lyrical chaos suitable for audiences of every age.
