A Deep Dive into Julius Caesar
 

Since it was first performed, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar has been hailed as a gripping exploration of power, rhetoric and politics, and remained relentlessly relevant. Join us for this special lecture series where Australian academics delve into the play and its history, and unpack what Shakespeare’s political masterpiece tells us about our past, present and future.

With Dr Kate Flaherty from The Australian National University, Senior Lecturer in English and Drama. Dr Flaherty is interested in the relationship between performed drama and public culture using Shakespeare as an expansive test case.

    The Book of Mormon
     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    Cluedo The Play
