Federation University’s graduating acting students will present a second play, The Northern Lass, at the Arts Academy later this month.

Following the successful production of The Comedy of Errors, this play, The Northern Lass, promises to be equally funny and entertaining.

First staged in 1638 and written by Richard Brome, The Northern Lass is a boisterous comedy with music that focuses on the wooing and marriage of four women.

Directed by renowned Richard Brome scholar, Associate Professor Kim Durban, the show will run at the Helen Macpherson Smith Theatre from Wednesday, 18 September, to Sunday, 22 September.

Media are welcome to a dress run of the production from 3:00pm, Tuesday 17 September, or 1:30pm, Wednesday 18 September.
