An old warhorse of Brisbane's theatre scene has had a makeover to host one of the top shows of Brisbane Festival 2025.

The Twelfth Night Theatre, a 500-seater than opened in 1971, has been reimagined as a 1920s speakeasy for the month-long run of Gatsby at the Green Light.

Brisbane Festival artistic director Louise Bezzina said it was the first time the theatre had been a part of the festival.

"So many people have fond memories of the Twelfth Night, and it's great that the Brisbane Festival welcomes this iconic Brisbane theatre into our program," she said.
