Past events

The Merchant of Venice

26 May – 13 June 2009
Newtown Theatre

Directed by Julie Baz
Designed by David Jeffrey
Featuring Walter Davis-Hart, Richard Hilliar, David Jeffrey, Amanda Laing, Roger Adam Smith, Milly Stilinovic, Jacob Thomas, Nicole Wineberg

‘Smith plays Antonio with a sense of maturity, duty to his friends, and with a little of the obstinacy of old age. Stilinovic plays Portia as a flighty, bratty, racist, spoiled princess…Jeffrey gives the standout performance as the little old Jew – intense, devout, and hugely passive-aggressive.’
Time out 05/06/09

‘Just wanted to say HUGE congratulations – the play was superb last night – I loved every minute of it!!!! The cast was fantastic – the setting wonderful!’

‘Indeed, throughout [The Comedy of Errors], Baz, via the medium of outstanding actors,…
proves worth her weight in comedic gold!…All-in-all, Baz has done as good
a job as, well, (the other) Baz, in hitting just the right notes with this very amusing play.’
Australian Stage 16/01/09

‘…a sensibility for elegant simplicity seems to, well, reign: more power to them!…
The Sydney Shakespeare Festival has punched, even above its weight, in its
production of [Macbeth] one of Shakespeare’s perennials.’
Australian Stage 18/01/09

‘Just got home from Comedy of Errors. Excellent production. Dynamic and absorbing. Great audience engagement. Much better production than when we saw the same play at The Globe in 2006. Well done.’
