shake & stir theatre co. presents

Statespeare

Two pairs of students

not alike in diligence
in an average school classroom,
where we lay our scene

On the brink of the Year 12's performance task, Lachlan and Nerys know they are onto a winner. Armed with their combined knowledge of the works of William Shakespeare, their fierce (albeit somewhat dorky) intelligence, acting talent that goes way beyond the typical Year 12 student, and their trusty Shakespeare glossary, they simply can't fail. 



Enter Jay and Rob - two enterprising cool kids without any interest in Shakespeare but who can see the advantages of teaming up with this pair of theatre-geeks to help boost their drama grade as they prepare to answer the question - Is Shakespeare still relevant?



As this foursome discuss, debate and rehearse their assignment, not only do they find themselves unraveling a few school yard rumours, but they become swept up into some of Shakespeare's most famous plays including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, Romeo & Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, Titus Andronicus and a few more... proving that Mr. Will definitely still knows how to shake 400 years on.



A fast-paced, hilarious and eye-opening experience.
