M. - by Will Shakespeare

Think Shakespeare is boring? Think again!

In his directorial debut Colin Craig has blown the reviewers off their feet. With a "tell it how it is" attitude, ghosts in hoodies, audience participation and all technical operation happening live on stage this minimalist but highly theatrical production of Macbeth flies at such a pace that the audience won't know what hit them.

"...an accessible and entertaining take on the scottish play, and will be enjoyed by those that don't usually do shakespeare." Rebecca Butterworth - Arts Hub

Directed by Colin Craig

$20 per student (min booking 100)
Running time - 120min + Q&A

Cosi - by Louis Nowra

Sold out in 2011. Book early for 2012.

This play, based on author Louis Nowra's personal experience, is a gentle comic reminder that a moment shared can be more significant that any piece of politics.

Eagle's Nest Theatre's most popular porduction brings out the dark undertones of this traditionally comic exploration of mental health and communication.

Playing to 3000+ students in 2011, Cosi is bound to be a hit again in 2012.

"...the actors here succeeded beautifully each bringing to their part a humour, fluencey and unsentimental empathy." Alex Connelly - Theatre Alive

$20 per student (min booking 50)
Running time - 90min + Q&A

Charles Dickens Performs A Christmas Carol

Experience Dickens the way the author intended

A spectacular recreation of the readings with which Charles Dickens toured the world. When you hear this familiar tale told as the great author himself would have wished - it is immediately clear why people flocked in their thousands to see it in Dickens' day and why this production has played to standing ovations and critical acclaim every year since 2003.

"...in the same ball park as [Miriam Margolyes'] Dickens' Women."
Cameron Woodhead - The Age

"... 4 and a half stars - Brilliance"
Kate Rose - Sunday Herald Sun

Directed by James Adler

Off the Page - On to the Stage

When the words come to life, students easily learn to analyse themes and character motivations. Using techniques from the rehearsal room our workshops allow students to appreciate and understand theatre and make well informed argumetns about the text.

We can prepare a workshop for any text, from the Ancient Greeks to the Absurdists, and in a range of styles from full scene-by-scene analyses to intimate discussions of leading roles such as Romeo or Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear.

"...It really made us think about the characters and helped position us in their shoes so we could have a better understanding ... Apart from that it was AWESOME!" - Preston Girls Secondary College
