Further Information Twelfth Night Theatre had booked the Albert Hall, owned by the Methodist Church. The Central Methodist Church Mission requested a copy of the script from director Joan Whalley. Whalley instead cancelled the hall booking and, at the invitation of JC Williamson's Brisbane manager, moved the production to Her Majesty's Theatre.
