  2010 World Theatre Day Message: Dame Judi Dench World Theatre Day | (16)

  Dame Judi Dench - Message 2010 World Theatre Day is an opportunity to celebrate Theatre in all its myriad forms. Theatre is a source of entertainment and inspiration and has the ability to unify the many diverse cultures and peoples that exist throughout the world. But theatre is more than that and also provides opportunities to educate and inform. Theatre is performed throughout the world and not always in a traditional theatre setting. Performances can occur in a small village in Africa, next to a mountain in Armenia, on a tiny island in the Pacific. All it needs is a space ...

  Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble joins the celebrations News, World Theatre Day | (0)

  Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble are opening up a dress-rehearsal run of Shakespeare's Shorts to the general public on World Theatre Day. Shakespeare's Shorts are fast and funny half hour versions of the original scripts, delivered with QSE's trademark clarity and accessibility. Each of the Shorts also features gentle audience participation to get everyone into the action. The Half-Hour Hamlet takes out all the procrastination - the tragedy is performed in 20 minutes, then, in 7 minutes, and again, in just 3. Instant Romeo & Juliet turns the tragedy of the star-crossed lovers into a high-paced comedy with plenty of wooden-sword-buckling. These celebrated shows are rarely ...
