THEATRE WORKS AND THE GHOSTLIGHT LEAGUE PRESENT
William Shakespeare's Reservoir Dogs
BY STEVEN HOPLEY
5-15 AUGUST | THEATRE WORKS
BY STEVEN HOPLEY
William Shakespeare's Reservoir Dogs brings together the iconic characters and dialogue from Shakespeare's plays with the gritty underworld of Quentin Tarantino's film.
Telling the tale of six strangers brought together to commit a daring crime...plunder a coach of precious jewels; things go awry, and those who remain must fight to uncover who amongst their company is a rat.
With suits & ties replaced by dublets, semi-automatic pistols with swords and a thumping soundtrack of 70s hits turned Bardcore by a live band; thou must not miss this unforgettable experience that blends tragedy, comedy, and a dose of Tarantino's signature flare and Shakespeare's iconic style.
Cry Havoc! And Let Slip the (Reservoir) Dogs of War.

MEET THE ARTIST
THE GHOSTLIGHT LEAGUE
The Ghostlight League are a Melbourne-based Independent Theatre Company. Founded in 2021 by Rob Lloyd and Cassandra Hart off the back of bringing together the company of players for the debut season of Shakespeare Aliens (which had it's World Premiere at Theatreworks in January of 2022). Grounded in a love of pop-culture and Shakespeare; the company has gone on to present their trilogy mashups both here in Melbourne and in Adelaide as an artist fund recipient for the first two in the series (Shakespeare Aliens and Shakespeare Ghostbusters) rounding out the trilogy with William Shakespeare's Reservoir Dogs, which they are excited to be remounting as part of Theatreworks' 2026 Main Stage Season, bringing it all back to where it started.
