Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble presents Twelfth Night

Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble presents one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies, Twelfth Night.

 

When Viola is washed up on the shores of Illyria after a shipwreck, she disguises herself as a man and goes to work for the lovesick Duke Orsino. Orsino immediately sets Viola the task of wooing the seemingly unwooable Countess Olivia, a nearby lady in deep mourning for her deceased brother.  No sooner has Viola become Orsino’s love messenger than she finds herself falling in love with him,  while Olivia, believing Viola to be a man, finds herself falling head over heels for the resourceful go-between. Meanwhile, Olivia’s housekeeper Maria, determined not to become an old maid, abandons the gloom of her mistress' house of mourning for the bright underworld of perpetual party-animal, Sir Toby Belch. Together they devise a scheme to bring down Olivia’s haughty, killjoy butler Malvolio once and for all, unleashing a riotous chain of chaos, confusion and obsession.

 

Set in the lush surrounds of Roma Street Parkland and directed by Rob Pensalfini, QSE’s Twelfth Night will whisk you away to a world where disorder triumphs, rebellion is in season and everything is turned gleefully on it’s head. Featuring more music than any other Shakespeare play, which in typical QSE style will be performed live by the cast, QSE’s Twelfth Night is sure to be the hottest Shakespeare party of the year.

 

Shall we set about some revels?

$24-$30
