Welcome - The Official Site of the Award Winning Shakespeare Republic

Created, adapted and directed by Australian actor, Sally McLean and produced by Incognita Enterprises, Shakespeare Republic is an internationally award-winning, female-led and culturally diverse anthology short form TV series currently in its third season that celebrates not just the world’s greatest playwright, but also his insightful understanding of the big issues of his time. Insights that still hold relevance today and form the basis for a truly diverse, inventive and epic journey into the nature of being human.

Starring over 30 actors from six different countries, including Michala Banas, Nadine Garner, Alan Fletcher, Dean Haglund, Christopher Kirby, Miguel Perez, Laura Gardner, Frank Collison, Dominic Brewer, Caris Vujcec, Rowena Hutson, among others, Shakespeare Republic is an exploration of the works of William Shakespeare and his fellow Elizabethan and Jacobean playwrights, with the aim of rediscovering, reinvigorating and occasionally re-interpreting these universal observations in a modern setting, through the lens of current events and social issues of our time.
