BOGAN SHAKESPEARE PRESENTS ROMEO & JULIET
Event description
Doors Open 6:30pm Show Starts 7:00pm
'Bogan Shakespeare' asks one question and one question only; what if 'The Bard of the Avon' had been
born today in WA. What if we could take timeless prose and make it timely. What if we could take the
academically dense and make it genuinely accessible. What if Shakespeare but funny as f**k.
A satirical retelling of the most iconic of Shakespeare’s works, Bogan Shakespeare is accessible to any
audience, whether you’ve read all thirty-seven plays, just watched the Baz Luhrmann movie or haven’t
seen a show since that horrible two hours you spent watching your 14-year-old nephew in his school
play. This show has something for everybody. Fancy a love story? We got you. Love your sport? So do we.
Like a cheeky murder from time to time? Who doesn’t. Bogan Shakespeare will give you everything short
of a never-ending packet of Tim-Tams, and believe me-we tried that one too.
Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Ellenbrook where we lay our scene. One a Dockers family
the other an Eagles family. On the eve of the fabled finals derby. From ancient grudge breeds new
mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. Basically, it’s about to kick off, you get the idea.
