“We learn from failure, not from success!”― Bram Stoker, Dracula
Shake and Stir are based in Brisbane and have toured nationally with a number of well received productions. In previous years Griffith audiences have been privileged to be included on national tour of productions of George Orwell's "1984" and Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights".This is what I said about their production of Wuthering Heights when creative crew hit the Griffith regional Theatre stage in March 2016.
"Outstanding, emotional, and intense What an evening of theatre. I feel like I have been been taken on an emotional roller coaster and the last few Acts run you through an old style wringer washer,squashes you flat, takes out the liquid and if your not careful will rip your arms off. Shake and Stir Theatre Co - a seriously brilliant production of #WutheringHeightsAU"The production values are amazing, and for a company that tours, and has to bump in and out of a theatre in just a couple of days, get the technical details sorted, a couple of run throughs and also some classes for the high school students, it says a lot about the companies commitment to exceptional theatre in every location. In this short promotional video you can tell this is going to be pretty full on and will have the audience engaged from start to finish.
Last year "Wuthering Heights" was visually and emotionally amazing. I felt like I had been swept up out of my seat and suddenly sitting inside a Virtual Reality film and I am lead to believe that for this production of "Dracula" it is even more intense.
This is your opportunity to experience world class performances without the extra costs of flights to the big city, accommodation, plus its heaps cheaper than the big city for Theater Tickets.
