Anna Karenina, adapted and directed by Nelle Lee (Shake & Stir Theatre Co), is a bold contemporary reimagining created with UniSQ’s second-year Acting and Theatre Making students.
This emotionally charged, ensemble-driven work re-examines a timeless story through a modern lens, exploring love, reputation, and desire in a world where private choices become public spectacle. As relationships fracture, it reveals the personal cost of being seen, judged, and remembered.
