The 2015 season will include three epic productions, As You Like It, Hamlet and The Tempest, a renewed public programme, a new collaboration with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Simone Young, The Art of Shakespeare exhibition, and continued dedication to Shakespeare in education.
The renewed Public Programme will include Script to Stage, a director’s presentation aligned with As You Like It and The Tempest. The programme will also feature a series of talks with John Bell ranging from the influence of Shakespeare in contemporary culture to the history and impact on Australian theatre.
Bell Shakespeare will also team up with The Sydney Symphony Orchestra to present a new arrangement of works and music that will see co-artistic director John Bell direct excerpts from Romeo and Juliet as conductor Simone Young weaves music from Prokofiev’s ballet score throughout the performance.
Art aficionados can indulge themselves with The Art of Shakespeare, which will see up to a dozen visual artists create artworks inspired by the works of Shakespeare.
2015 will culminate with an exclusive 25th anniversary gala on Friday November 27, 2015, celebrating the achievements and impact of Bell Shakespeare over the last quarter century.
