Shakespeare in Hollywood
 

Step into the Spotlight with Ken Ludwig’s Hilarious "Shakespeare in Hollywood"

Get ready to be transported to the golden age of Hollywood in a dazzling mix of comedy, chaos, and Shakespearean mischief! The acclaimed play *Shakespeare in Hollywood* by Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig is set to enchant audiences with its witty dialogue, fast-paced humour, and star-studded intrigue. 

Based on the original film, it's a ‘don’t miss’ screwball comedy with supernatural elements, a fun-filled romp that pays homage to both Shakespeare and the golden age of Hollywood.

It's 1934, and Shakespeare's most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialised on the set of the Warner Brothers film set of ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. the least.

Don’t miss this chance to revel in Ludwig’s witty storytelling and Shakespearean charm!

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
