Twelfth Night, or What You Will – Sport for Jove

Overview

Sport for Jove is fast becoming Sydney's favourite Shakespearean theatre company, with success lying in the company's originality and unique clarity of storytelling. And Twelfth Night, or What You Will is no exception.

In what is a remount of their 2012/13 outdoor festival season hit, the company's Twelfth Night rendition is highly acclaimed. Set amidst the idyllic beaches, sweat and ice-cream of a family's summer holiday, this is a version infinitely close to home, exploring issues of self-obsession, asylum seekers, same-sex love and happiness that are so inherent of our world today.

Starring Abigail Austin, Megan Drury and Anthony Gooley, this is Shakespeare at its most topical, in the same year that marks the playwright's 450th birthday. "As usual, Sport for Jove makes Shakespeare wonderfully accessible," writes Stage Milk. "Twelfth Night is a must see”.
