La Boite Theatre Presents STATESPEARE 28

By:

Cleverly written script...hilarious physical theatre...totally engaging. A standing ovation from the audience The Courier-Mail

The show that audiences of all ages adored is back, bigger and barder than ever...

Is Shakespeare still relevant? It's the first rehearsal for the year 12's Performance Task and Lachlan and Nerys know that, with their knowledge of The Bard, they cannot fail. But their allocated group members Jay and Rob don't know the difference between Shakespeare and Schwarzenegger.

As this foursome discuss, debate and rehearse their assignment, not only do they find themselves unravelling a few school yard rumours, but they become swept up into some of Shakespeare's most famous plays including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, Romeo & Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, Titus Andronicus and a few more... proving that Mr. Will certainly still knows how to shake 400 years on.

Fast-paced, surprising and hilarious, catch STATESPEARE before its four-month national tour.

This play works so well on so many levels for so many people 612 ABC Brisbane
