The Merchant of Venice

St Kilda Botanical Gardens

DECEMBER 2023

Melbourne Shakespeare Company will return to the Rose Garden this December, revitalising one of Shakespeare's rarely produced comedies; The Merchant of Venice. This innovative reimaging combines the rich language of the iconic play with the vibrant energy of musical theatre, and is guaranteed to dazzle audiences with a hilarious and unforgettable experience.

"Larger than life characters and lots of laughs" — What's On St Kilda

"The chemistry among the cast is genuine and infectious: we hear them warming up and laughing together as we enter the gardens and we hear their peals of laughter and eruptions of song during pack-up as we’re leaving." — Stage Whispers
