9 March @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm AEDT

This March, Melbourne Shakespeare Company transforms Central Park, Malvern, into the intrigue-filled streets of 1940s Vienna for a bold reimagining of Romeo & Juliet. Experience Shakespeare’s most famous love story like never before, with live music, vibrant costumes, and a breathtaking outdoor setting.
Directed by Emma Austin (Much Ado About Nothing, 2024), this dynamic 90-minute adaptation blends romance, drama, and humor, set to a stunning live soundtrack of reimagined pop classics by Musical Director Natalie Calia. The feuding Montagues and Capulets come to life in a world of secrets, passion, and heartbreak.
