This autumn, Melbourne Shakespeare Company kicks off our 2026 season with a vibrant outdoor musical production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.


Set against the picturesque backdrop of Central Park, Malvern, this lively new adaptation blends witty wordplay, toe-tapping tunes, and dazzling choreography to bring the Bard’s battle of the sexes to life like never before. Directed by Emma Austin, the production transforms Shakespeare’s classic comedy into a joyful, music-filled spectacle perfect for a balmy Melbourne evening.

Pack a picnic, gather your friends, and prepare to be swept up in a fast-paced, high-energy production brimming with romance, rivalry, and revelry. Whether you’re a Shakespeare aficionado or a first-time theatregoer, this is the perfect way to welcome in the season
