Australian Premiere

Your Bard

Theatre

Did Will Shakespeare write his plays? Come and spend a rip-roaring hour in the pub with the man himself! He'll tell you all about life on tour, the glory days at the Globe... and Anne Hathaway. Ladies and gentlemen raise your glasses - Your Bard!

Written and Performed by Nicholas Collett

Additional material by William Shakespeare

Directed by Gavin Robertson

"A piece of pure theatre magic" - Bay Life.

"Lively and engaging, full of humour and audience interaction" - Kansas City Metropolis.

"On Collett's stage, William Shakespeare has truly become "our" bard, the bard of the people and a bard among people - all thanks to our modern playwright's at times comical, at times deep and moving, but always original and fond rendition of him." - Nouse Magazine

Presented by:
Joanne Hartstone & Nicholas Collett
