Shakespeare, circus and television actors taking to the stage
La Boite have announced their 2016 season, featuring Shakespeare, circus and television actors taking to the stage.
CEO and Artistic Director Todd MacDonald said, "This year we push the boundaries of form by collaborating with some extraordinary partners to stretch theatrical, physical and musical boundaries.
"I hope that this varied menu will enliven and inspire our existing audiences and draw new audiences to share in the La Boite experience."
One of those partnerships is with Brisbane-based circus company Circa for When One Door Closes, which features the great women of 20th century drama, Miss Julie, Hedda Gabler and Nora, 6 - 23 April.
