Australian Shakespeare Company
The Australian Shakespeare Company was founded in 1987 by Glenn Elston, its Artistic Director and Producer, and pioneered popular outdoor theatre in Australia. It has since played to over a million people throughout the country, performing and touring in metropolitan and regional cities and remote and outback locations, from Melbourne and Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens to Kakadu National Park and Beswick Falls in the Northern Territory. Audiences include families, seniors, tourists, students and young professionals, all of whom experience the magic of outdoor performances with some of Australia's finest professional performers and creative artists.
Although best known for performances in parks and gardens, the Australian Shakespeare Company creates extraordinary productions for all locations - indoor and outdoor - creating plays that are not only site specific but can be adapted to the needs and circumstances of particular communities and occasions.
This summer we celebrate 20th years of Shakespeare Under The Stars with Glenn Elston's acclaimed production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Do not miss this great performance, set in the idyllic setting of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne with a young, vibrant and comical cast.
And Melbourne's favourite family entertainment The Wind in the Willows continues its well-loved tradition of bringing the animal's home to the gardens for summer. Over the years an audience of tens of thousands have delighted in the simple pleasures of this rollicking production. Pack a picnic, pack the kids and join Rat, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly and, of course, Mr Toad, as they bring to life Kenneth Grahame's immortal story of life on the riverbank at the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens.
