Shakespeare WA has served up something different this year with a talented company of actors presenting three plays, two of the Bard’s own and one parody of his complete works.

Holsdworth and Roberts take a fairly laid back approach to things, one even asks the other if he’s ready before they begin. Like all good musicians, they watch and feed off each other constantly.


Although this work is, from all outward appearances, one which confronts ideas of nationhood and of cultural identity – it failed to reach into real confrontation.


This is a show made for Sydney-siders – what better way to start the Sydney Festival with a show made of, with and for the community?
