 Shakespeare's Shorts - throught the year

 

Shakespeare's Shorts season poster

 

Think again if you think you don't have time for Shakespeare.

 

Back again in 2008, the ever-popular Shakespeare's Shorts continues to perform for events and festivals through the year.

Shakespeare's Shorts are fast and funny half hour versions of the original scripts, delivered with QSE's trademark clarity and accessibility, and featuring trained, experienced actors. Each of the Shorts also features gentle audience participation to get you into the action.

The Half-Hour Hamlet takes out all the procrastination - the tragedy is performed in 20 minutes, then, in 7 minutes, and again, in just 3.

Instant Romeo & Juliet turns the tragedy of the star-crossed lovers into a high-paced comedy with plenty of wooden-sword-buckling.

Big family or outing? Consider a group booking! To book, send an email to bookings@qldshakespeare.org - or leave a message on (07) 3365 3269. The price is discounted to $10 per person - please note that children's prices do not apply if they are part of the group. Bookings must be made at least 48 hours in advance.

 

 

 

The half-hour pieces have been specifically designed

to be performed in a variety of public and private venues, are entirely portable and adaptable:

Our approach makes Shakespeare fun, accessible and easy to understand.

Our actors are professional and experienced.

All of our shows include some gentle audience interaction.

We can tailor the Shorts to suit different age-groups, from kids to adults.

We bring everything that's needed with us - sets, props & costumes.

No mics are required; our actors undergo voice-training and arrive warmed-up.

Our performance space requirements are a mere 5m x 5m minimum

Upcoming Shorts Performances:
