Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet
 

This time, Verona tells its story…

Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet is a new Australian play written and created by Scott Jackson and Sorcha Breen. The original concept is by Scott Jackson and it brings to life a whole new perspective of this classic play. In this original work, find out more about Verona's townsfolk, discover new characters and how they have been impacted by our star cross'd lovers. This play is all about the parts you have never seen before in one of Shakespeare's classics. 

Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet will take a famous line such as “Do you bite your thumb at us, Sir” and do a deep dive into the far reaching consequences of one of classical theatre’s most ancient disputes. Theatregoers will get to see this new work outdoors on the grounds of St Kilda Southport Uniting Church in South Melbourne. The church is a formidable backdrop with its bluestone, trees and shrubbery to provide the perfect setting for this story to unfold.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
