Join us for the 19th season of free Shakespeare Under the Stars in Zilker Park. Enjoy the revelry of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, when 'misrule' turns the natural order of the world upside down, identities are disguised, and roles reversed: the steward Malvolio aspires to be "Count Malvolio", Olivia does "she knows not what", and Viola becomes "Good Caesario." Add to the mix the love-sick Orsino, the always drunk Sir Toby Belch, the wise fool Feste, and you too will discover the truth of 'What You Will' in this feast of follies, love, and madness. Bask in the warm sands and colorful rituals of the mythical kingdom of Illyria where the Three Musketeers meet the Moulin Rouge.
What the critics said:
"Jill Blackwood, as the cross-dressing Viola, embodies the romantic condition, with features like a dew-kissed rose..Rick Roemer plays...the obsessed Orsino, with handsome dignity and precision...Yet the juiciest scenes belong to...the city's most accomplished Shakespearean actor, Paul Norton... [who] plays Malvolio with stiff neck and stiffer hair, sniffing and speaking waxily...With Roberts at the helm, the company is positioning itself to become among the most capable Shakespeareans in the state."
- Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman
