In a Nutshell

Join Artistic Director Peter Evans and the cast of Hamlet for a celebration of The Neilson Nutshell, and an exploration of Peter’s favourite Shakespeare plays.

Find out why we named our theatre the ‘Nutshell’, explore power and tyranny in Macbeth and King Lear, grief in King John, and love with Beatrice and Benedick, Viola, Rosalind and, of course, Romeo and Juliet. This will be an evening to revel in Shakespeare’s most-loved speeches and scenes, from his early career to the last plays.

Whether you are new to Shakespeare, revisiting his work or an aficionado, this is a unique opportunity to watch a remarkable ensemble of actors jump from role to role in our new, intimate theatre at Pier 2/3 in Walsh Bay.
