Twelfth Night Outdoors at the Streatham Rookery – Auditions June 11th and 15th 2026

The Streatham Theatre Company is holding auditions for their production of Twelfth Nightm which will be staged in the Rookery.

Here’s the details:

Shipwrecked in an unfamiliar land, twins Viola and Sebastian both believe the other to be dead. When Viola disguises herself as a man, she quickly finds herself caught between the lovestruck duke, Orsino, and the object of his affections, the Countess Olivia.
