This beguiling comedy follows the romantic adventures of Viola and her identical twin Sebastian, both shipwrecked in the enchanted dukedom of Illyria. Viola has been washed ashore in Illyria believing her twin brother Sebastian has drowned.
Disguising herself as a young man named Cesario, she gains employment with Duke Orsino. The Duke sends "Cesario" to court the beautiful Countess Olivia for him, but when Olivia falls for "Cesario" instead of Duke Orsino, an intricate chain of events is set in motion, which becomes even more complicated when Sebastian reappears.
Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy of mistaken identities, unrequited love and madness and includes some of Shakespeare's most memorable characters and hilariously improbable situations.
"You took Much Ado About Nothing to your heart, and many of you wrote emails and letters asking me to programme another Shakespearean comedy as soon as possible. So here it is: Twelfth Night - another favourite of mine. This large cast production with a contemporary twist will be directed by Roger Hodgman, whose Shakespearean comedies have entertained audiences throughout Australia." Kate Cherry
