Three Sisters

The mid-year production in 2014 was Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters directed by Emanuel E Garcia. Watch on YouTube Comments from Local Artist & Poet Suzanne Herschell Well, I went to 3 Sisters tonight. The play deserved a much bigger audience because it was simply amazing, Was there anything for a critic to find fault with? The set was so good, the Marc Chagall images a wonderful evocative backdrop, costumes lovely. But what really stunned me was the individual acting. Each person owned their character and played the particular role so well with distinct personality. It is unfair to single out any actors when they were all superb.

The Tempest

Bard in the Yard 2016 was The Tempest directed by Emannuel E Garcia. Watch on YouTube Director’s Notes The Tempest, widely considered to be Shakespeare’s last play and a summary comment on his creative endeavours, is a unique blend of magic and realism.  It is a story about a usurped monarch, slavery, love and redemption, and a brave new world of possibilities.  Our production will emphasise the surreal and dreamlike nature of the drama, as well as its earthiness and ambiguity.  We are fortunate enough to have an experienced cast of Shakespeareans, as well as original live music specifically composed for this Bard in the Yard
