Family Theatre

In December 2021 Melbourne Shakespeare Company launched a brand new interactive family musical Telling Tales. A magical adventure featuring your favourite fairy tales and fables from around the globe.

The production involves sing-along songs, puppetry, live music and dance that the whole family will love.

Telling Tales is a 60 minute interactive adventure is suitable for children of all ages.

This production was made possible thanks to the Support of The City of Port Phillip.

Following a Sold Out season in 2021, we are excited to announce more seasons in the future.

A Note from the Director Emma Austin

As a theatre maker in 2021, it has been a particularly interesting time to be looking at the world and how we treat each other. I am so excited to showcase Melbourne Shakespeare Company’s brand-new family musical ‘Telling Tales’. In this show we are utilising stories from around the globe to tell a story of inclusion, friendship and of course, a cheeky little dog.

When Jen offered me the opportunity to direct, I physically couldn’t contain my excitement. A SHOW? FOR KIDS? With the MELBOURNE SHAKESPEARE COMPANY? As a teacher and actor, I couldn’t be more excited to create and showcase this new work. Working with Anthony Craig to create the show is a dream and we can’t wait to hear the screams of ‘HE’S BEHIND YOU!’

I truly hope you’ll all love the show as much as we do and that both the children and adults are enthralled, delighted and giggling the whole way through.
