Double bill highlights PYT talent

PERTH Youth Theatre’s three-week festival culminates tonight and tomorrow with a double bill of Shakespeare adaptations performed by PYT Seniors.

“True” is a Balearic tragedy adapted from Shakespeare’s Othello. The script has been created by Tim Primrose and director is Colin Bradie.

“Love” written and devised by Isabel Wright with PYT Seniors is directed by Jennifer McGregor. Love, betrayal and wandering rogues abound in this fast moving and sharp-edged tale adapted from Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.”

This double bill is staged tonight and tomorrow at 8pm, with tickets £6 (concessions £3).
