Announcing auditions for Bunbury Players’ production of
Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Sean T. Baldwin
All roles are open to performers of all ages, ethnicities and gender identities.
Viola — An aristocratic young woman. Following a shipwreck, she disguises herself as a young woman named Cesario and goes to work for Duke Orsino, with whom she falls in love.
Orsino — A self-absorbed Illyrian nobleman. Hopelessly in love with Olivia, but slowly finding himself more drawn to his new page, Cesario.
Olivia — An Illyrian noblewoman who has recently lost her father and brother. She spurns the advances of both Orsino and Sir Andrew Aguecheek and also finds herself drawn to Cesario.
Sebastian — Viola’s long lost twin brother. Upon his arrival in Illyria, he is quickly mistaken for Cesario. Malvolio – The strict, self-righteous, and social climbing steward in Olivia’s household. He detests anything fun.
Feste — The clown of Olivia’s household. He’s probably the wisest character in the play.
Sir Toby Belch — Olivia’s uncle. He is often drunk or hungover and enjoys a good joke at the expense of Malvolio or Sir Andrew Aguecheek. He ultimately finds a friend and partner in Maria.
Maria — Olivia’s lady-in-waiting. She dreams of rising above her class and takes joy in ribbing Sir Toby and Malvolio.
Sir Andrew Aguecheek — Sir Toby’s friend. A foppish idiot who thinks he is far more desirable and competent than he is.
Antonio — Sebastian’s travel companion. He rescued Sebastian and cared for him, and appears to have fallen in love with him.
