'Nothing that is so is so.’
The Queensland
Shakespeare Ensemble (QSE) celebrates its second-year of performing in
Roma Street Parkland in 2008 with its latest production, Twelfth Night.
Twelfth Night introduces audiences to Viola, a young noblewoman who is shipwrecked on the shores of exotic Illyria. Fearing
for her safety in this strange land, she disguises herself as a man,
and immediately finds herself in a confused love triangle between Duke
Orsino and Countess Olivia. Sanity falls by the wayside
amid the eclectic cast of characters and cases of mistaken identity in
this topsy-turvy world, where desire and loss hide behind a mask of
excess.
Under the
stewardship of nationally and internationally renowned Artistic
Director Rob Pensalfini, QSE builds on its reputation for staging
vibrant productions that bring Shakespeare’s words to life in an
engaging, accessible manner.
