Victoria University of Wellington Summer Shakespeare 2017
ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
Directed by Peter Hambleton
Auditions
25-26 September 2016
Shakespeare’s rarely performed comedy tells the story of a love so strong it causes a young woman to risk everything for the chance of happiness. Romance, Love, Lust and True Virtue are hilariously examined in a fiendishly clever plot with all the inventive wit we expect, and seasoned with the warmth and wisdom of an older generation who watch anxiously from the sidelines.
Peter Hambleton is one of the country’s most accomplished actor/directors – specializing in Shakespeare. He starred in THE HOBBIT movie trilogy as grumpy redheaded Dwarf Gloin, directed the award-winning EQUIVOCATION at Circa Theatre, and is a SGCNZ Shakespeare’s Globe Fellow.
The fastest Shakespeare comedy on wheels!
