Thanks to the ongoing support of The Scully Fund, Bell Shakespeare continued our work in regional and remote NSW, delivering in-school performances, an Artist in Residence program and community performance in Broken Hill. Philanthropy Coordinator, Isabelle Clements, joined The Players on the tour and wrote the below daily report.
We are grateful to our community who came together to share the universality of Shakespeare's works in a celebration of language and community. In an increasingly polarised world, we reflected on how the power of art can transcend difference, brings us together and urge us to imagine a world elsewhere.
