Tandi Wright picks up where Shakespeare in Love’s Gwyneth Paltrow left off as she brings Twelfth Night’s cross-dressing heroine, Viola to life. George Henare stars as the aptly named Sir Toby Belch and Paolo Rotondo is Viola’s twin, Sebastian.Â
Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Oliver Driver, Paul Barrett, Andrew Laing, Charlie McDermott, Peter McCauley, Jason Smith and Jacque Drew complete Auckland Theatre Company’s famous line up.
Lyrical, emotional, bitter-sweet and hugely funny, Twelfth Night is a spectacular concoction of cross-dressing and confusion where everyone is in love with the wrong person.  Viola loves Orsino who loves Olivia who loves Sebastian and his twin brother Cesario - who also happens to be Viola!
Michael Hurst and his superb cast unscramble the confusion, madness and mayhem all the while breathing new life into Shakespeare’s most poignant comedy.
