Going strong into its centenary year, La Boite launches its 2025 season with a famously ‘cursed’ play.
Saying the name of Shakespeare’s Scottish play inside a theatre is supposed to be bad luck, but artistic director Courtney Stewart said that was all the more reason to program it.
“We’ve been able to bring back some of the original directors and we’re talking to some of the original cast members to come back,” Stewart said.Brisbane Repertory Theatre became La Boite in 1967 when the company moved into its iconic theatre-in-the-round in Hale Street, Milton. “It solidifies our position as a major theatre company and is absolutely a celebration of all the efforts of every person who’s been through that company,” she said.
