Back-to-back Bard

THE Stanthorpe Little Theatre is rehearsing its 10th production in the series, “Shakespeare Under the Stars”.
“Measure for Measure” is one of the Bard’s lesser played comedies and is proving a challenge for both directors and cast as they grapple with the task of developing comedy and drama without letting one form detract from the other.
Vincentio (Malcolm Gamble), Duke of Vienna, takes a break from his duties leaving Angelo (Michael Britten) to administer the law in his place. With fanatical ardour and against the advice of his counsellor Escalus (Gerald Embery), Angelo sentences Claudio (Lauren Kelley) to death for having got his betrothed Mariana (Kate Learmonth) pregnant.
There are new faces among the regular performers and Chris Desgrand and co-director Veronica Hammond are looking forward to presenting the finished product at Bungawarra Winery, Bents Road, Ballandean, on Friday and Saturday 31 October and 1 November at 7pm and Sunday 2 November at 6.30 pm. Also at the Tenterfield School of Arts on Wednesday 5 November.
Bookings available through Bungawarra Winery on 4684 1128.
