Twelfth Night

A two-hour-and-twenty-minute theatrical experience under the night sky featuring the Australian Shakespeare Company's return of Twelfth Night. The production introduces Sir Toby Belch, considered the originator of social gatherings; Sir Andrew Aguecheek, portrayed as both foolish and lacking in mental acuity; Malvolio, a rigid religious figure who experiences a dramatic moral decline when manipulated by Sir Toby; Maria, the servant girl who cleverly outsmarts Malvolio while also training Sir Toby. Viola appears as a shipwrecked woman who adopts male clothing to secure employment. Olivia is depicted as a sorrowful noblewoman who turns down one suitor before falling for another in disguise. Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, experiences shifting romantic feelings when the truth and identities of characters intersect. The Australian Shakespeare Company maintains its celebrated tradition of Shakespeare Under the Stars, offering an evening filled with humor, romance, and poetic chaos suitable for spectators across all age groups.
