An award-winning solo show exploring forbidden love in 1960s Australia, laced with the words of Shakespeare.
Saturday May 29, 2pm & 7:30pm
A University Office, 1962: homosexuality is illegal. Junior lecturer, William O’Halloran, has been dismissed from his probationary position. His secret is out.
As he packs up his beloved belongings, William recalls the defining events that led him to this moment. Time is ticking away. His wife Lola is due to arrive any minute. And the curtain will soon rise on the student union production of Romeo and Juliet.
But Shakespeare’s tale of star-crossed lovers isn’t the only forbidden love story on campus. And the leading man knows this all too well...
Winner of a Best Theatre Weekly Award at Adelaide Fringe 2020 and hailed as ‘a masterful performance’ (Stage Whispers) and ‘compelling and must-see theatre’ (Melbourne Observer).
