About the Event

A two-hour-and-twenty-minute theatrical experience under the night sky featuring the Australian Shakespeare Company's celebrated comedy Twelfth Night. The production stars Sir Toby Belch, credited as the originator of partying; Sir Andrew Aguecheek, portrayed as both foolish and inept; Malvolio, a rigid puritan whose moral standing collapses when manipulated by Sir Toby; and Maria, the servant who cleverly outmaneuvers Malvolio while training Sir Toby in household management. Viola arrives after surviving a shipwreck, cross-dressing to secure employment. Olivia is the sorrowful noblewoman who turns down one suitor before falling for another in disguise. Orsino, the Duke consumed by love, finds his affections redirected when truth and identity intersect dramatically. The Australian Shakespeare Company maintains its acclaimed tradition of Shakespeare Under the Starsa evening filled with laughter, romance, and musical chaos suitable for audiences across all age groups.
