Theatre on Kew is delighted to once again partner with the Australian Shakespeare Company, who present exciting, accessible, contemporary productions of Shakespeare, children classics, musicals, and other plays. 

This summer, choose from two daytime productions – Kenneth Grahame’s classic Wind in the Willows and the fairytastic The Dream Fairies - Adventure to Bubble Land – and a mischievous theatre under the stars production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream
