https://www.racq.com.au/articles/competitions/2022/5/bernhardt-hamletRACQ and Queensland Theatre are giving members the chance to win one of five double passes to see Bernhardt/Hamlet.
Following the vivid real-life backstage story of Sarah Bernhardt, Theresa Rebeck’s Bernhardt/Hamlet is a fast-moving, audacious comedy about a 19th century woman issuing a challenge to the system that still resonates today.
It’s Paris in 1899 and star of the stage Sarah Bernhardt has set her sights on playing the role of Hamlet. Too old and bored to play the stale roles written for women, the diva needs an original (and controversial) crowd-pleaser to save her debt-ridden theatre.
The solution? What better work than Shakespeare’s finest play? And who better to take on the greatest part ever written than the greatest actress of the century?
Ready and willing to upset traditionalists and the status quo, Sarah takes on the sacred role of the Prince of Denmark. The whole city is watching and waiting to see whether this bold plan will be her legacy, or her folly.
Queensland Theatre artistic director Lee Lewis takes the wheel as director along with a first-class cast of Aussie actors, led by stage and screen star Angie Milliken.
Bernhardt/Hamlet will capture the hearts of audiences from 28 May – 18 June 2022.
Each winner will receive one double pass to see Bernhardt/Hamlet on 18 June 2022 at 7.30pm at Queensland Theatre, valued at $188.
The total prize value is $940.
The competition closes at 5pm on 9 June 2022. Good luck!
