‘I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.’
‘She speaks poniards, and every word stabs.’
ABOUT THE SHOW
Strap in for a theatrical feast to send the year out on a high, with Shakespeare’s classic comedy of love’s ecstasy and complexities.
Beatrice and Benedick are the most modern of Shakespeare’s couples. They have history. They love to hate each other, yet everyone around them knows they’re perfect for each other. Can love really conquer all?
This brutally funny battle of the sexes is brought ferociously to life by Helpmann Award-winner Alison Bell (The Letdown) and AACTA Award-winner Fayssal Bazzi (Stateless) in his Melbourne Theatre Company debut.
Beatrice and Benedick will fight for their lives against their happily ever after in a play packed full of drama, intrigue and romance. Brimming with wild reversals and hilarious collisions, this outrageously popular romantic comedy has captivated audiences for centuries.
Now, for the first time in 30 years, the Company presents a brand new production of Shakespeare’s joyous war of words and razor-sharp banter, under the direction of Associate Artist Mark Wilson (Jacky).
