Shakespeare in the Park 'Twelfth Night' (March 2026 season)
Directed by Paul Treasure
Twins? Shipwrecks? Love Triangles? Women dressing up as men?
A plot eerily similar to not one, but two teen rom coms?!
It can only be... Shakespeare!
After two and a half years away, Roleystone Theatre is returning to Araluen Botanic Park to present Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Taking our inspiration from the play’s very title, this production will be heavily Christmas themed.

There may be some doubling, and some cross-gender casting.
Some minor characters may not yet survive the final edit.
Prepare: Auditionees are asked to prepare a Shakespearean (or similar period) monologue.
You are not required to have it fully memorized, just be familiar enough to perform it convincingly, we are looking at how well you can speak Shakespearean lines, not how quickly you can memorise them!
It is advisable to wear comfortable clothes that you can easily move about in.
