Directors Peter Cottrell and Jandyra Maciel each bring their unique skills to the production. Peter has a wealth of Shakespearian experience, and focuses on the text, bringing centuries’ old language to life. Jandyra focuses on movement, choreographing graphic combat scenes and contemporary transitions.

Each has been with HaBYT for over a decade with a number of Shakespearean productions under their belts. Witness their latest collaboration in HaBYT’s production of Julius Caesar, in association with the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival, this October 9 & 10 at Toitoi Functions.
