The Australian Shakespeare Company returns to Kew Gardens this summer.
The Australian Shakespeare Company (ASC) is delighted to return to Kew Gardens this summer, bringing exciting, accessible, contemporary productions of Shakespeare, children’s classics, musicals and other plays. All directed by the ASC’s Artistic Director Glenn Elston, this summer they bring Lewis Carroll's whimsical Alice in Wonderland, the “fairytastic” The Dream Fairies - Adventure to Bubble Land, and a powerful evening production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
MACBETH: 18 July – 31 August 2025
Fresh off a sold-out Melbourne season, this new, powerful production stars the “deeply compelling” (Melbourne is Me) Hugh Sexton as Macbeth and the “magnetic” (ArtsHub) Nicole Nabout as Lady Macbeth.
Three witches wait on a dank heath to tempt and entice Macbeth to follow his dream to reach for and ultimately receive the highest title – King of Scotland. But it comes with the very expensive price of self-destruction.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND: 19 July – 31 August
This summer, experience an adventure like no other as Lewis Carroll’s absurd & wickedly clever classic Alice In Wonderland is brought to life in a setting straight from a book.
Meet your favorite assortment of curious characters; the skittish, constantly late White Rabbit, the Dodo and other birds who love a sing-along, the Duchess and her crazy cook, the Cheshire Cat who will leave you with a grin and Humpty Dumpty on his way to meet Tweedledum and Tweedledee. You can’t miss the silliness as the Mad Hatter arrives with the March Hare and Dormouse to have a grand old time with Alice at the tea party.
THE DREAM FAIRIES - ADVENTURE THROUGH BUBBLE LAND|: 18 July – 31 August
In an enchanting world of song and dance, the adventurous Tinkerbell meets up with the fairies from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Together, the cheeky Mustardseed, fluttery Moth, daring Cobweb, and sweet Peaseblossom embark on a magical quest with Tinkerbell. The audience is invited to dress up and join in the fun - come as a fairy, an elf, a Jedi, a pirate, or even a superhero! Everyone is welcome to join this adventure.
