“Come you Spirits will take you to a place just between the human and the ethereal, to demonstrate just how close we are through language and our connection to the natural world.”
Laura Heuston, Theatre Travels
who we are
We’re a touring troupe of actors – Jo Bloom, Charles Mayer, Ciarán O’Riordan, Charlotte Edwards, David Halgren, Ella Havelka and Willa King, and we perform all the plays in our repertoire in magnificent indoor and outdoor spaces, to music composed by Brandon Read, in lighting designed by Adam Applebaum, with photography by Syl Marie.
We also perform Shakespeare School Incursions from Primary to Year 12, so that they get it, fall in love with it, and thrive in it at school.
We adapt Shakespeare plays to be told by only a handful of characters, so it’s clear and it’s magical.
We use Shakespeare’s plays because every character shares with the audience the innermost truthful secrets of their soul, and the language used to convey the wonders and mysteries of the natural world reminds us that we all have a superpower somewhere – our performances are a celebratory return to magic to unify communities.
The actors meet the audience individually before and after every performance, in an ongoing commitment to consistent connection and service.
We demonstrate sustainability in people, in policies, in practice and in programming. We’re a solar-powered, long-term employing, community-connected, eco-story-telling, caring career actor company.
