All’s Well That Ends Well
Bard in the Yard in 2004 was Shakespeare's lesser-known comedy All's well That Ends Well directed by John Marwick. Part of the Fringe Festival. In April the director and cast took the play to Stratford (on Patea not Avon) and presented an afternoon performance in an outdoor setting.

Pygmalion
Florence McFarlane directed Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw in June 2015. Check out the marvellous video of our production of Pygmalion - thanks to Hayden Rogers. Director’s Notes May 2015 “Pygmalion” rehearsals are well under way with all scenes now covered. I’m working with a great cast committed to bringing this classic to today’s audience with all the freshness of its first showing in 1914.
