Bogan Shakespeare presents Romeo & Juliet
It’s Shakespeare… but funny as f***
July 12, 2024 at 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
ABOUT
Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Ellenbrook where we lay our scene. One a Dockers family the other an Eagles family. On the eve of the fabled finals derby. From ancient grudge breeds new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. What love can be reconciled between two people from such different factions, can they reach their goal or must they leave it for a behind? What issues must they tackle, grapple or hand ball?
What and who will be left standing when the final siren sounds?
A satirical retelling of the most iconic of Shakespeare’s works, Bogan Shakespeare is accessible to any audience, whether you’ve read all thirty-seven plays, just watched the Baz Luhrmann movie or haven’t seen a show since that horrible two hours you spent watching your 14-year-old nephew in his school play. This show has something for everybody. Fancy a love story? We got you. Love your sport? So do we. Bogan Shakespeare will give you everything short of a never-ending packet of Tim-Tams, and believe me-we tried that one too.
