The Bell Shakespeare vision is to create theatre that allows audiences of all walks of life to see themselves reflected and transformed through the prism of great writing.
With little more than an audacious idea, Bell Shakespeare began its remarkable journey in 1990. To create a theatre company dedicated to producing the plays of William Shakespeare in a way that was relevant and exciting to Australian audiences. But in the process, Bell Shakespeare has gone further than its visionary founder John Bell could ever have hoped. Through touring productions and education programmes, Bell Shakespeare is using Shakespeare’s universal insights to bring inspiration and truth to minds living in an uncertain world.
Now 20 years later, Bell Shakespeare enjoys the fruits of its labour: a history rich with legends of the stage; the establishment of its creative development arm, Mind’s Eye, which ensures artistic vibrancy; theatre, education and community programmes characterised by national reach and impact, and a loyal and passionate audience that has made the Company that began in a circus tent into an Australian national icon.
Bell Shakespeare believes that the greatest resource is the capacity to imagine and to transform: to picture a different world, to know that it can be one of our makings and that we can be both its creator and a character within it.
