Tough Act

This studio showing of scenes from Shakespeare and his contemporaries is the first performance for Toi Whakaari’s first year actors.

The snippets are sourced from the best of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and are directed by professional directors, this year including: Jacque Drew, Julie Noever, Miranda Harcourt, Vanessa Byrnes, Sylvia Rands, and Tom McCrory.

Plays are drawn from the best of the Shakespearean canon and include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Measure for Measure, Othello, Anthony and Cleopatra, King Lear, Richard III and The Tempest.

These Shakespearean snippets give us a glimpse of devastated nuns, star-crossed lovers, deadly enemies, mad actors, jealous husbands, and awakening sensuality - not to mention the emerging talent of the future!

"These actors have spent their first year of study working on body, voice, context, text analysis and connection. Classic Cuts is their opportunity to achieve fusion with all the skills and insights they have gained."
