Shakespeare Under the Stars 2021
BLOOD WILL HAVE BLOOD
(Adapted by Terri Brabon from Richard III & Henry VI Part 3 by William Shakespeare)
September 15 - 26
Queens Gardens
Producing an outdoor Shakespeare event in regional North Queensland was pioneered by Jean-Pierre Voos who produced and directed the first event with his professional company, TROPIC LINE in 1992. Twelfth Night featured members of the professional ensemble alongside final year Theatre students from JCU as well as the best performers from within the local community. It is this combination of professional, emerging and community actors that TheatreiNQ embraces, driving the continued success of the event and the audience's proud ownership of its long successful history.
