Get ready to laugh yourself silly under the stars as the Australian Shakespeare Company brings back one of its most beloved comedies - Twelfth Night - a “wonderful show, built around an engine of brilliant performances” (Australian Arts Review).Meet Sir Toby Belch – the man believed to have invented partying; Sir Andrew Aguecheek – dispossessed of any intelligence and naturally silly; Malvolio – a power-hungry puritan who falls from a great moral height when pushed by Sir Toby; and Maria – the housemaid who outwits Malvolio and house-trains Sir Toby.
Then there’s Viola, the shipwrecked girl who cross-dresses as a boy to find work, Olivia, the grieving noblewoman who rejects one suitor only to fall for another in disguise, and Orsino, the lovesick Duke whose heart changes course when truth and identity collide.
“Rollicking pop-Shakespeare with an infectious dose of midsummer madness” (The Age), this is “great theatre” (Australian Arts Review) — “an exceptional cast” (Stage Whispers) in a show so full of fun that “Shakespeare would be proud” (The Plus Ones).
The Australian Shakespeare Company continues its much-heralded tradition of Shakespeare Under the Stars — a night of laughter, love and lyrical mayhem for audiences of all ages.
