April 23 – 25 | 7:30pm | Avalon Theatre, UQ | All tickets $14 | BUY TICKETS
2026 marks a year full of milestones. It will not only be our 25th birthday, but our 20th intake of Apprentices and our 15th Dare to Share!
The actors of the 2026 Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble will have been training together for over 2 months, exploring voice, movement, language and more through a selection of Shakespeare’s speeches and scenes. For three nights only, we invite you to join QSE’s 2026 ensemble where we will share some of these pieces, offering an insight into our training and rehearsal processes and practices.
Dare to Share is not so much a production as an opportunity to continue our training and exploration in the presence of an audience, the final and most important member of the theatrical ensemble.
The foyer bar will be open from 7:00pm each night, and a 15-minute Q&A will follow every performance.
