Shakespeare in Love
I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all.
Directed by Sue Mortimer
Shakespeare in Love is a play with music that was adapted for the stage by writer Lee Hall (Tony & Olivier Award-winner), based on the screenplay by writers Marc Norman (Academy Award-winner) and Tom Stoppard (Tony, Olivier & Academy award -winner).
This stage adaptation of the 1998 film is a wildly playful, funny, energetic and romantic work of historical fiction set in Elizabethan London with rival theatres and a demanding queen who very much wants, “a comedy – with a dog.”
It uses many of the plot devices commonly found in plays of the Elizabethan
era – cross-dressing disguises, mistaken identities, suspicions of adultery, sword fighting, a comedic nurse and even visions of ghosts plus a play within a play… and a dog.
Open Auditions at Mana Little Theatre are on Sunday 2nd of November 2025 from 1 pm till 5pm.
Show dates are May 13 – 23 2026.
