Twelfth Night

For two hours and twenty minutes under the night sky, the Australian Shakespeare Company returns to one of its most cherished comedies: Twelfth Night. Sir Toby Belch is credited as the inventor of partying; Sir Andrew Aguecheek has been stripped of his wit and remains comically foolish; Malvolio is a power-obsessed puritan who loses his moral standing when manipulated by Sir Toby; Maria, the maid, outsmarts Malvolio and trains Sir Toby in household matters. Viola, a shipwrecked woman disguised as a man to secure employment, Olivia, a grieving noblewoman who turns down one suitor only to fall for another in disguise, and Orsino, the Duke whose affections shift when truth and identity clash. The Australian Shakespeare Company continues its celebrated tradition of Shakespeare Under the Starsa night filled with laughter, romance, and musical chaos for audiences of every age.
