The Taming of the Shrew
Friday 27 February 2026 - Sunday 15 March 2026 (UTC+11)
🔥 Step into the chaos and comedy of Melbourne Shakespeare Company’s bold new production of The Taming of the Shrew! This isn’t your usual Shakespeare — each performance, the audience decides who will play the Shrew and who will do the taming! ðŸŽ
🎲 No two shows are ever the same. With roles swapped, power dynamics flipped, and the cast improvising in real time, The Taming of the Shrew becomes a thrilling experiment in love, wit, and control.
💃 Set against the lively backdrop of open-air theatre, this production bursts with music, mischief, and playful audience interaction — turning one of Shakespeare’s most controversial comedies into a sharp, surprising, and hilarious battle of equals.
🌹 Perfect for both Shakespeare fans and newcomers, this electrifying reimagining proves that the games of love and power are never quite what they seem.
