We’ve got a neglected classic in the line up –at least rom an Australian point o view – andone o Shakespeare’s great tragedies.

Peter Evans, our talented Associate ArtisticDirector, will be taking on Shakespeare’s Macbeth .His resh approach and great respect or the text will make this a show not to miss.

And we are happy to welcome Lee Lewis backinto the old. Ater her terrifcally successulTwelfth Night she comes back to direct Molière’s engagingromp,The School For Wives .

Our twenty-second year looks like being one oour busiest and most rewarding ever. We hope tobe seeing a lot o you.

We’ve teamed up writer Justin Fleming with direcLee Lewis to bring Molière to our audiences acrothe country.

Following the wonderul experience I had witJulius Caesar , we will be setting up Lee and her o predominantly local artists to produce The SchFor Wives rom Melbourne.

Personally, I am thrilled to fnally get to work Dan Spielman and to continue working with Kate

Mulvany on a new production o Macbeth .Seeing all o these artists come together flls

me with great anticipation. It’s a big part o the joo putting a season like this together and I am veexcited to be a collaborator.
