AUDITIONS Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost

Grant Malcolm | 28/11/2011 - 20:53

Every summer since 1995 an authentic Shakespearean experience has taken place in Australia’s only replica Elizabethan theatre. Playing Shakespeare in an open air courtyard venue similar to that for which the plays were written is an unforgettable experience. The passionate, energetic performances, intimate soliloquies, audience interaction, long entrances all "click" into place in this remarkable space.

Nowhere else in the country will you get this opportunity. Book an audition slot now and don't miss this opportunity!

These are barren tasks, too hard to keep,
Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep!

UWA's beautiful New Fortune Theatre with its resident peacocks is the perfect setting for Shakespeare's most beautifully lyrical play: an extravaganza of wordplay and wit, lit by a summertime glow of lush language and romantic tomfoolery.

In a zealous moment of idealism, four young men make a vow to give up good living for three years to make books and learning their sole occupation, swearing off less civilized pursuits; namely, women. No sooner have they made their vow than four beautiful women arrive.

Infatuation, adolescent pranks and playful confusion lead to more serious matters, revealing the cost of real love.

Treat yourself to Shakespeare’s lively repartee in this world bursting with a sensuality that cannot be contained.

In Love’s Labour’s Lost, the culture of learning knocks heads with the wildness of love, rocketing along with the fizz and bubble of some of Shakespeare’s most energetic wordplay.

Featured event
The Theatre on Chester (Sydney) presents
The Servant of Two Masters


Written by Carlos Goldini. Re-Written by Nick Enright and Ron Blair.

Carla Moore

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
