    The Globe Theatre Dunedin’s final production of 2024 is a fresh adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (or What You Will), directed by Brent Caldwell. Set in North Dunedin during the early 1980s, this reimagined version brings Shakespeare’s iconic love triangles, mistaken identities, and witty deception to the University of Otago campus. Viola’s journey of disguise and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the Dunedin Sound, adds a new layer of energy and local flavor to this classic, music-infused comedy.

    Drawing on Shakespeare's rich history of adapting stories from antiquity, this version of Twelfth Night (or What You Will) captures the same timeless themes of love, humor, and human complexity, but with a unique Dunedin twist. Featuring a local cast and live music that will include Flying Nun classics, this production promises recognisable characters, surprises, laughter, and familiar tunes.

    Don’t miss this playful collision of Shakespearean mischief and Dunedin spirit where anything could happen!
