Overview
If you haven't brushed up on your Shakespeare since reading Romeo and Juliet in high school, you may be a tad skeptical about buying tickets to watch one of his plays. But NSW-based award-winning repertory theatre company Sport for Jove is on a mission to make you appreciate Shakespeare again. Now in its eight year, their acclaimed outdoor Summer Shakespeare Season presents the great playwright's works in an accessible, enthralling, and contemporary way.
This year, watch Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra performed from the female perspective— radical cross-gender casting means the traditionally male roles are played by a stellar cast of Australian female artists. Directed by Damien Ryan and Michael Pigott, this is Shakespeare for the modern era.
SPORT FOR JOVE DATES:
Shakespeare in the Park, Bella Vista Farm, Dec 17–Jan 7
Leura Shakespeare Festival, Everglades Gardens, Jan 14–29
