Soothplayers

Completely Improvised Shakespeare

  • Australia

On the damned spot, Soothplayers conjure a brand-new, one-hour Shakespearean play – entirely improvised from your suggested title!

For 10 years, this smash-hit show has delighted audiences across Australia, from Melbourne to Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. Featuring veterans of Thank God You’re Here, Impro Melbourne, The Big HOO-HAA! and The Improv Conspiracy, these are some of the nation’s sharpest improvisers.

You don’t need to know your Hamlet from your Helena to love it – though rest assured, they’ll match thy freak if thou dost. Expect serious silliness, poetic chaos and moments of surprising beauty. Every performance is the first (and last) of its kind – so come back tomorrow (and tomorrow, and tomorrow…).
