This love story goes beyond time, through eternity and across dimensions. History brings us the true story of the titans of two empires – Mark Antony of Rome: the warrior torn between duty, passion and ascension… and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt: a pillar of sovereignty and a Goddess standing as a portal to immortality.
Shakespeare provides the sumptuous, sensual verse in his most opulent play, shattering limitations of scale and language.
Set in Egypt, performed among you at the Chatswood Concourse Lounge, with a tomb-like intimacy, you will be transported into this timeline deeper than you thought possible.
Take part in Passion, in Magic, in History.
“Magnificently performed by outstanding actors. Best of the best. Highly Recommended.” – Sydney Arts Guide
At Rathmines Theatre, nawayiba, Lake Macquarie, a one off Valentine’s Day performance of Romeo & Juliet at 7.30pm on Friday 14th February 2025.
Shakespeare’s Romeo and 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.
“Breathing new life into Shakespeare, I heard the words made new again, as if by alchemy” – Prof. Laurie Johnson, President Australia & New Zealand Shakespeare Association
“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.”
Laura Heuston, Theatre Travels
We’re a touring troupe of actors – Jo Bloom, Charles Mayer, Ciarán O’Riordan, Charlotte Edwards, Dallas Reedman, Charley Allanah, and Chiara Osborn, with story-guide Nathan Meola, and we perform all the plays in our repertoire in magnificent indoor and outdoor 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 that they get it, fall in love with it, and thrive in it at school.
We adapt Shakespeare plays to be told by only a handful of characters, so 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 all have a superpower somewhere – our performances are 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.
Please get in touch by filling out the form below and we’ll get back to you today, or call Jo on 0416 635 880.
