ROMEO & JULIET (FORMERLY SHAKESPEARE ROULETTE)
The Bard + Garden Party = The Barden Party!
Due to an unfortunate run-in with Covid-19, The Barden Party will now be presenting 'Romeo & Juliet' for every performance. The roulette wheel has spoken before we've even arrived!
Lucky for you, R&J is our headlining show of this season and has had rave reviews!
Here's one for you: https://ugc.production.linktr.ee/080282b8-3c2f-458c-a49b-6f0b2ee3323a_RandJReview.pdf
Award-winning theatre company, The Barden Party is bringing their usual fun-loving spin to R&J and filling Shakespeare's most famous play with their general hilarious, heartfelt antics. Set as modern-bohemian romance put to Kiwi and Australian music… You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll dance the night away.
Music, Mischief, Magic.
Romeo & Juliet Directed by Laura Irish and Ollie Howlett
Presented by: The Barden Party
The Barden Party was born in actor/director Laura Irish’s New Zealand backyard in the height of Covid as a way to keep theatre alive by bringing it directly to intimate audiences safely and giving actors work during the pandemic. The Bard + garden party concept ballooned with the cast travelling across NZ and the US performing in castles, gardens, patios and theatres - winning the Dunedin Fringe Excellence Award on the way (A Midsummer Night's Dream). The Barden Party was also behind the creation of the critically acclaimed, fully immersive, Butterfly Smokescreen, a joint venture with Sydney’s Jetpack, performed on a super yacht for 11 weeks in Auckland (currently looking for a yacht in Australia). They excel at making mischievous theatre experiences. Available for private or public shows.
