Shakespeare made new as if by alchemy...

Just magic...
Tim James, MP Commendation in NSW Parliament

Romeo & Juliet is an offering of unconditional love. Passion and hope propels us towards a vision of a brave new world of forgiveness and connectedness where love thrives. Romeo & Juliet invites an opening of the heart to receive a light so bright that we recognise our own capacity for growth – in all its tenderness and glory.

Our adaptation tells the full story using only four characters – Romeo, Juliet, The Friar and The Nurse

What we bring:
  • Our critically acclaimed touring production of Romeo & Juliet, full-blown, full-scale, full of heart.
  • The cast of four professional actors, plus our sound technician, bring the unforgettable experience of our open-air touring shows directly to your school. Running time: 90 minutes plus Q+A.
  • Our interpretations of these plays tell the story with only four characters, giving students a rich understanding of the heart of these plays, while also inviting both comparison to the original and to other prescribed texts, and inviting discussion of the process of adapting Shakespeare for contemporary audiences.
  • We have taken the principals of sound healing and worked with the amazing international composer Brandon Read to create a soul soaring soundscape for each of our plays.
  • Students receive a holistic experience of listening, watching, and engaging with an acclaimed production of Romeo & Juliet, with all of the production values of our touring show.
  • A post show Q&A led by our Education Director Jo Bloom who holds a Postgrad in the Teaching of Shakespeare, has a rich understanding of the NSW Syllabus and brings 18 years experience of Shakespeare in Education across UK and Australia.
  • Ready to go at a moment's notice and perform anywhere in or out of doors. No access to power? ...no problem, we can use our solar powered battery units to power full lighting and sound!
  • Let us transform your sports field, library, school hall, theatre or yarning circle into a stage and celebrate what makes your school unique.
