South Perth Shakespeare by the Swan: Romeo & Juliet opens this week! (WA)

Theatreshow | 14/03/2009 - 13:32

The Old Mill Theatre is launching its 2009 season this week with Shakespeare’s immortal love story Romeo & Juliet, to be performed in the Scented Gardens near the South Perth foreshore.

Part of the South Perth Fiesta, award-winning director Stephen Lee has taken on the challenge of putting together the Old Mill Theatre’s first outdoor production by the Swan River.

He describes Romeo & Juliet as “a feast for all five senses” with colour and spectacle, swordfights, dances, music and a strong, compelling story that is both humorous and heart-warming.

Romeo & Juliet plays at 7.30pm, March 18 to 22 and 25 to 28. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 concessions and $10 for children (under 12). Bookings can be made through BOCS on 9484 1133 (booking fees apply) with tickets also available at the gate. You can also book online here: http://www.bocsticketing.com.au/events/romeo_juliet_sjmp.shtml

The audience is invited to bring cushions, blankets and a picnic basket to enjoy before the show. Low beach-style chairs are allowed but larger chairs will be moved before the performance to ensure a clear view of the play.

The Scented Gardens are located in Sir James Mitchell Park, about 200m east of Mends Street jetty, on the South Perth foreshore.

Judging by Monday night's dress rehearsal, this is going to be sensational. I, at least, was seriously impressed.

Break lots of legs everyone!

i whish i could see it, just the name of "scented gardens" where the play is being rehearsed is deliciously evoking. Tim, how are you?

We hope that everyone who reads the above will come and bring LOTS of friends!

The fight scenes are amazing, thanks to the wonderful Andy Fraser! the setting is superb, the costumes are gorgeous- and Oh yes the acting is pretty good too!!

Bring a picnic to enjoy beforehand - and enjoy Shakespeare as he meant it to be- out in the open, full of youth and energy, love,betrayal, drama, romance and death.

Love. laugh and weep at Shakespeare's most popular play.

Two weeks only. March 18 to March 28th at 7.30 pm

Agnese? Surely not my 'Girl from Ipanema'?

Where are you and what are you doing these days? Never thought I'd hear from you again and certainly not on Theatre Australia! What a surprise!
