Bar’d Work Sydney is a new kind of theatre

Bard Work Shakespeare

by

Posted: 15/03/2024

Australia’s favourite Shakespeare troupe, Bar’d Work, is thrilled to announce its return to the vibrant pub scene with “Much Ado About Nothing”, set to light up the Shakesbeer Sessions once again. Delving into the heart of Shakespeare’s comedic brilliance, this show pits the sharp-tongued Beatrice against the wily Benedick in a verbal duel that is as hilarious as it is timeless. Set in the convivial atmosphere of Sydney’s most iconic pubs, Bar’d Work invites audiences to experience a side of Shakespeare that’s rarely seen in traditional theatre settings. The company’s rendition of “Much Ado About Nothing” promises a whirlwind of romance, intrigue, and laughter, engaging audiences in a way that only live theatre—in the most unexpected of venues—can. Director and creator Chris Huntly-Turner makes it clear, “The Bar’d is back, taking Sydney pubs by storm, performing Shakespeare the way the Bard himself intended – for the people, in packed out pubs!” It’s a nod to the Elizabethan tradition of staging plays in inn yards, making the Bard’s work accessible and relatable to everyone. According to Laura Heuston of Theatre Travels, Bar’d Work’s approach has demonstrated that making Shakespeare accessible and entertaining for modern audiences doesn’t require radically altering the text, but rather, adapting the performance style – and the audiences have responded with roaring laughter and enthusiastic participation. Originating from a moment of inspiration among actors in 2019, Bar’d Work has grown into a beloved staple of the Australian pub scene. Its unique blend of interactive, raucous storytelling has seen the company sell out multiple… Read More

We can’t all be in Europe, in fact, it’s winter there so Sydney is the hottest place to be anyway (perhaps literally). If you are craving the Mediterranean vibes though of sipping a frosty beverage, staring at the water and feeling a million miles away from your problems, then there’s only one spot on Sydney you need to be and that’s Zephyr bar. Situated on the 12th floor of city centre located Hyatt Regency is a not-so-hidden gem of a rooftop bar. We say not-so-hidden, because while a peaceful oasis, the great views are coveted so we recommend making a booking! All through the summer months Zephyr is embracing the French Riviera energy and has redone the rooftop setting with trails of bougainvillea and upscale seaside decor in classy navy, white and orange palettes. Naturally they’ve also redone the menu to suit a spot simply screaming let’s have a kiki. “Zephyr’s latest cocktail creations are a sensory journey that brings drink trends and the flavours seen in the Northern Hemisphere summer to Sydney as we enter the warmer months and the timeless attraction of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after summer locations, such as St. Tropez, the Amalfi Coast and the Greek Islands straight to your glass,” explains Zephyr’s Mixologist, Jordan Rizk. With classics, twisty classics and new creations on the menu it’s hard to recommend just one drink that will be the perfect sundowner, however Jordan recommend the hero cocktail, the Zephyr St Tropez Spritz. Tastes of charred pineapple rum, deep of barrel-aged gin, sparkling rosé… Read More
