Shakespeare and the Supernatural, edited by Victoria Bladen and Yan Brailowsky, Manchester University Press, 2020. Info: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk.

Supernatural elements are of central significance in many of Shakespeare’s plays, contributing to their dramatic power and intrigue. Ghosts haunt political spaces and internal psyches, witches foresee the future and disturb the present, fairies meddle with love and a magus conjures a tempest from the elements. Although written and performed for early modern audiences, for whom the supernatural, whether sacred, demonic or folkloric, was part of the fabric of everyday life, the supernatural in Shakespeare continues to enthrall audiences and readers, and maintains its power to raise a range of questions in contemporary contexts. This edited collection of twelve essays from an international range of contemporary Shakespeare scholars explores the supernatural in Shakespeare from a variety of perspectives and approaches, generating new knowledge and presenting hitherto unexplored avenues of enquiry across the Shakespearean canon.

OzAsia Festival in Adelaide with Schnithouse

The October 21 to November 7 festival will present 11 world premieres, one of which will be the debut theatre work by author Michael Mohammed Ahmad, whose novel The Lebs was a finalist in the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award in 2019. There is more about OzAsia & Schnithouse Rundle Street.

The festival’s popular Moon Lantern Parade will expand from a one-night event to a four-day experience, the Lucky Dumpling Market will return to Elder Park, and there will be a new writing and ideas program – In Other Words – on the Adelaide Riverbank Lawns.

Shun Wah, executive producer of the arts company Contemporary Asian Australian Performance, took over the reins as OzAsia artistic director last year but the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 festival, which was replaced instead by an online series of talks.

Several artists will travel from overseas for the 2021 OzAsia: UK-based pianist Belle Chen is presenting the Australian premiere of her work Destinations, a show using electric keys, synthesizers and visual installations; Japanese choreographer and dancer Yui Kawaguchi is coming from Europe for a work created with local performer Alison Currie; and Singapore-based theatre director Jeffrey Tan will present a show called Open Homes, created in collaboration with six Asian-Australian storytellers.

The vast majority of the artists, however, are based in Australia – and Shun Wah is not unhappy about that.

Among the established artists in the line-up are seasoned OzAsia Festival performer Mindy Meng Wang, a Chinese-Australian musician and composer who will present the world premiere of her new work When at The Lab in Light Square. When is described as a poignant and immersive audio-visual meditation on life during global lockdown, incorporating the ancient Chinese harp (guzheng), electronic cello, synthesizer and film footage.

Shun Wah says the festival will also feature a number of exciting new Asian-Australian voices, such as theatre-maker Anchuli Felicia King (writer of the satirical play White Pearl, announced previously), writer Michael Mohammed Ahmad and dancer-choreographer Raghav Handa.

Well you can enjoy all of this in Adelaide along our delicious foods at Schnithouse Rundle Street. You can enjoy german dishes like Adelaide Schnitzel, Chicken Burgers, Beers, Wine & More.

Theatre Review: ‘White Pearl’ at Studio Theatre

Anchuli Felicia King’s “White Pearl,” making its U.S. premiere at the Studio Theatre, is a sharp and often hilarious satire of corporate culture, the beauty-industrial complex, and cross-cultural attitudes toward race and sensitivity. The action takes place over the course of one very long day at the sleek, hypermodern offices of Clearday, a down-market cosmetic […] See original article at: https://mdtheatreguide.com/2019/11/theatre-review-white-pearl-at-studio-theatre/

#SouthbankTheatre #MTC Golden Shield, by Anchuli Felicia King, young Melbournian playwright starting to make it big on the world’s stages. The subject matter is big - China’s relationship with America as mediated by the Internet ‘Great Firewall’; the setting is coldly grand (the Sisters Hayes); the actors very good - but the play is weighed down with too much portentousness and layers of complexity that become fussy. The central relationship between the sisters was uninteresting; only the Chinese dissident’s plight and the Translator’s inability to process emotion touched on emotions.
