PROGRAMME
- Wed 25 Feb 2015 @ 20:00 @ Utopolis-Belval: Love's Labours Lost: Summer 1914. Dedicating themselves to a life of study, the King and his friends take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years – but then the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting arrive.
- Wed 4 Mar 2015 @ 20:00 @ Utopolis-Belval: Love's Labours Won: Autumn 1918. A group of soldiers return from the trenches. The world-weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero. As memories of conflict give way to a life of parties and masked balls, Claudio and Hero fall madly, deeply in love, while Benedick and Beatrice reignite their own altogether more combative courtship.
- Wed 22 July 2015 @ 20:00 @ Utopolis-Belval: The Merchant of Venice: In the melting pot of Venice, trade is God. With its ships plying the globe, the city opens its arms to all, as long as they come prepared to do business and there is profit to be made.
- Wed 26 August 2015 @ 20:00 @ Utopolis-Belval: Othello: Othello is the greatest general of his age. A fearsome warrior, loving husband and revered defender of Venice against its enemies. But he is also an outsider whose victories have created enemies of his own, men driven by prejudice and jealousy to destroy him. As they plot in the shadows, Othello realises too late that the greatest danger lies not in the hatred of others, but his own fragile and destructive pride.
