Art of seduction

Girl meets Boy. Boy meets Girl. Girl wants Boy, right now. But Boy just wants to go hunting with his mates…

Such are the eternal dilemmas of attraction that even Venus, the goddess of Love, must face. Her object of desire, Adonis, isn’t remotely interested in her advances, and thus our Goddess is brought down to earth with the crashing thud of human failure.

Shakespeare’s most popular poem of carnal lust, desire, unrequited love and death is given an exhilarating reworking in the world premiere theatre production of Venus and Adonis. A sparkling new response to Ovid’s original love story that throws the rich baroque world of Shakespeare’s love poetry under the harsh light of contemporary sexuality.

VENUS AND ADONIS
CUB Malthouse Theatre, Sturt Street, Southbank
Presented in conjunction with Bell Shakespeare
Friday April 11 – Sunday May 4
Bookings: 9685 5111 or www.malthousetheatre.com.au
