ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH,
DEAR FRIENDS, ONCE MORE
Henry V
If it sometimes feels the world is fixated on finding easy answers, join us as we engage with the nuance and complex thinking of Shakespeare’s mind.
Welcome to Season 2025; three diverse plays and our exciting program of public events. The world is stranger than ever and as always Shakespeare has seen it or imagined it before. I struggle with whether to reflect, comment or distract when putting together our seasons. I can make a case for distracting; sometimes one wants to not think about the cruelty in the world. Sometimes the only civilised response is to make a musical, or present a comedy set in a magical land. This season we have chosen to reflect and comment, somewhat obliquely, with sophisticated plays of the highest order.
First up is Henry 5, one of the most famous war plays of all time. Then, is a play from my bucket list: Coriolanus. And for our national tour and a return Sydney season we present Romeo & Juliet.
