Completely Improvised Shakespeare

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Think Shakespeare... but funny! Give Soothplayers a title that could have been written by the Bard (but was not) and they will conjure a brand-new Shakespeare play on the damned spot.

This award-nominated show is fast-paced and action-packed, promising laughs and gasps in equal measure.

The cast includes darlings of Melbourne’s improvisation scene, including cast members of Thank God You're Here, Impro Melbourne and The Big Hoo-Haa! This season marks the 10-year anniversary of the show, and there will be a special celebration after the evening of Thursday, 16 October's performance.

Part of Melbourne Fringe Festival.
