“Come you Spirits will take you to a place just between the human and the ethereal, to demonstrate just how close we are through language and our connection to the natural world.”

who we are
We’re a touring troupe of actors – Jo Bloom, Charles Mayer, Sontaan Hopson and Ciarán O’Riordan, with storyteller Nathan Meola, and we perform all the plays in our repertoire in magnificent outdoor and indoor spaces, to music composed by Brandon Read, in lighting designed by Adam Applebaum, with photography by Syl Marie.
We also perform Shakespeare school incursions from primary to Year 12, so they get it, fall in love with it, and thrive in it at school.
We adapt Shakespeare plays to be told by 4 characters, with the actors taking one character each. It’s clear, and it’s magical.
We use Shakespeare’s plays because every character shares with the audience the innermost truthful secrets of their soul, and the language used to convey the wonders and mysteries of the natural world reminds us that we have superpowers; a celebratory return to magic to unify communities.
The actors meet the audience individually before and after every performance, in an ongoing commitment to consistent connection and service.
We demonstrate sustainability in people, in policies, in practice and in programming. We’re a solar-powered, long-term employing, community-connected, eco-story telling, caring career actor company.
festivals
We create, produce and deliver full festivals to bring communities together, attracting visitors, tourists and locals, working with indigenous communities, seniors and students in a celebration of life and the arts.
Get in touch to discuss how a festival around our work can benefit the wellbeing of your area.
Here’s a taster of our recent festival in Esperance, WA:
“sublime magic …
stunning, sold out, performances …
elevating the experience well beyond mere performance…
The ripples are still being felt.”
