Twelfth Night

A two-hour-and-twenty-minute theatrical experience 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, an inept and comical nobleman; Malvolio, a rigid religious figure whose moral convictions are tested by comedic circumstances; and Maria, the loyal servant who cleverly manipulates events to outsmart Malvolio while training Sir Toby in household management. Viola, a young woman shipwrecked at sea, assumes male clothing to secure employment. Olivia, a sorrowful aristocrat who dismisses one suitor before falling for another under false identity, and Orsino, the Duke consumed by romantic longing whose affections shift when deception meets revelation. The Australian Shakespeare Company's annual Shakespeare Under the Stars celebration delivers an evening of humor, romance, and poetic chaos suitable for spectators of every generation.
