‘Definitely a comedy!’

A feast of Shakespeare in 97 minutes

The Mount Players president recently said, “It’s amazing that in the past 51 years our company has never performed any of Shakespeare’s plays."

To rectify this, we are going to attempt to do all of them in one night! Thirty-seven plays in 97 minutes with three actors... What could possibly go wrong?

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is a delightful, fast-paced romp through the Bard’s work as three manic men in tights hurtle through all of Shakespeare’s plays, leaving you in stitches.

The Mount Players join FizzWack Theatre to bring you a show that takes those long, sometimes tedious and serious subjects, and condenses them into a couple of hours of frivolity.

Warning! Those with heart problems, bladder issues, inner-ear disorders, outer-ear disorders, Shakespearean scholarships, gout, and male pattern baldness enter at their own risk!

If you love Shakespeare, you will love this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you will love this show. Running from August 18 to 26. It is going to be a real hoot so don’t miss out.

Meandering weekend of photography

Members of Macedon Ranges Photographic Society were recently out and about in the Benalla area with an organised weekend walkabout to the Winton Wetlands and Silo Art Trail.

The wetlands formed the backdrop for experimenting with night photography and a chance to practise long exposure settings. Knowledge was patiently shared and some great images were captured despite cloudy skies. We visited the wetlands again the following morning, before continuing along the tourist art trail.

We stopped off in five rural towns to capture the silo art, some towns now have other structures painted up as well. The silos are well worth a visit. The paintings, by various talented artists, depict life and nature in the local areas. We managed to wander around Shepparton to look at the Cow Moooving Art Exhibition. 3D life-sized cows were everywhere we turned.

Macedon Ranges Photographic Society welcomes new members. The club generally meets on the first Tuesday of the month, followed by the next Monday at Dromkeen in Riddells Creek. Social chats start at 7pm with the meeting beginning at 7.30pm. Please visit www.macedon-ranges-photography.org.au
