Theatre Works: William Shakespeare’s Reservoir Dogs
12 August @ 7:30 pm - 8:50 pm AEST

William Shakespeare’s Reservoir Dogs brings together the iconic characters and dialogue from Shakespeare’s plays with the gritty underworld of Quentin Tarantino’s film.
Telling the tale of six strangers brought together to commit a daring crime…plunder a coach of precious jewels; things go awry, and those who remain must fight to uncover who amongst their company is a rat.
With suits & ties replaced by dublets, semi-automatic pistols with swords and a thumping soundtrack of 70s hits turned Bardcore by a live band; thou must not miss this unforgettable experience that blends tragedy, comedy, and a dose of Tarantino’s signature flare and Shakespeare’s iconic style.
Cry Havoc! And Let Slip the (Reservoir) Dogs of War.
