About:
We bring Shakespeare's and other classic works to life for today's audiences all over Australia.
Company Overview:
The Bell Shakespeare vision is to create theatre that allows audiences of all walks of life to see themselves reflected and transformed through the prism of great writing. As a company, we strive to:
Prove that Shakespeare and the great works are not an end in themselves but a means by which we can explore our most heartfelt concerns and our collective aspirations.
Acknowledge our historical background and embrace our cultural future: to find the point at which our past and future intersect and to hold the gaze of this defining moment.
Value the transcendent beauty and complexity of Shakespeare’s ideas, language and imagery: to identify the poetry of our times.
Use Shakespeare as Australians – as a vehicle for self-scrutiny and recognition: to make work that is of us, for us and about us.
