Shakespeare's Queens 
Presented by Straylight Australia

They’re dead! But Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots are still arguing furiously over who ruled best. When Shakespeare finds himself caught in the middle, he summons the seductive, ambitious and fabulously powerful Queens from his plays to help settle the dispute. Meet them all, from the She-wolf of France to the Serpent of the Nile, in this entertaining and fast-paced hour of intrigue, passion, tragedy and triumph.

The Madness of King Lear 
Presented by CW Productions

He’s dead, too! But the spirit of the old King is unable to rest as he battles to understand the actions of his three daughters. His dear companion and shamanic guide, Fool, shape-shifts in taunting flashes of half-glimpsed insight, as the King becomes ever more lost in his memory and his madness. Both tragic and playful, this is ‘Lear’ as you’ve never seen it before: an explosive fusion of drama, dance, clowning and comedy.
