April 24th – 26th | 7:30pm | The Avalon, UQ | All tickets $14 | BUY TICKETS
Shakespeare’s plays are filled with lies, disguises, and conceit, challenging actors to commit just as fully to deception as they do to honesty. Who is the deceiver and who is the deceived? And how can we tell the difference?
Understanding the shifting sands of deceit is more than a philosophical question in 2025. Look around. It’s good to have a map.
The actors of the 2025 Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble have been training together since the end of February; exploring voice, movement, language and more through a selection of Shakespeare’s speeches, sonnets and scenes.
For three nights only, we invite you to join us in a world of deception and confusion, where we’ll share some of these pieces – offering an insight into our training and rehearsal processes and practices.
The foyer bar will be open from 7:00pm each night.
