HE THIRD BEAUTY: SHAKESPEARE'S WOMEN ..... Performances from 4th - 20th October at Spring Hill Resevoir. Each week, performances are from Thursday - Sunday. Refer to The Curators for full details.

" A star danced, and under that was I born."

THE CURATORS (the company that brought you last year's acclaimed production of UNCLE VANYA and this year's Anywhere Theatre Festival hit, THE QUIGHTING TIME) presents a bold new work by Michael Beh - THE THIRD BEAUTY - a spectacular, bold re-visioning of Shakespeare's great female characters.

Using only the words written by William Shakespeare for his women, THE THIRD BEAUTY re-imagines and re-articulates some of the greatest characters ever performed on the world stage.

See what happens when Lady Macbeth, Juliet, Cleopatra, Rosalind, Olivia, Titania, The Nurse, Viola, Portia, Katerina, Queen Margaret, Ophelia, Tamora, Mistress Quickly, Emilia, Beatrice, Cordelia, Gertrude, Desdemona, Lady Capulet and The Witches collide (but not all at once).

Worlds are turned upside down and inside out; transformation occurs and new truths are told.

Performed by three, dynamic male actors who bring Gloriana back to life, this timely investigation into gender representation and relationships honours all women, trans and gender fluid people and those that celebrate the feminine within.

This winter, in the warm, intimate, bijou space of Magda's, step back in time into an exotic world that pays homage to the remnants of a Jacobean playhouse, where we play with light, exotic aromas, period costuming and live music by our very own troubadour.

" I am fire and air."
