Malthouse Theatre

What a great spot! Went recently for a body positive Taking up space event. The stage is set up great with beautiful fairy lights strung across from the stage to the back of the seating. Inside bar was reasonably priced, although food was a bit too expensive for what we received ($8 chips / $7 burger drinks from $7) *Cashless venue* All in all a good experience and would happily return.

If your into performance and theatre, this is an experience you definitely don’t want to miss out on. Something so incredibly different and innovative you wouldn’t have seen before. Because The Night is a theatre show loosely based on Hamlet, however instead of the actors performing traditionally on a stage, they perform alongside you in rooms, where you are able to explore, walk through and watch at your own leisure. You cannot touch the actors and they cannot touch you, they simply perform like you aren’t there. Different scenes are performed at the same time, and you start by entering either the Gymnasium, Bedroom or Office (chosen at time of booking). No phones or bags are allowed in, so the inside remains a mystery to you. You are given a mask and a cape to wear, and you must remain silent as you explore the rooms. We were astonished by how many rooms there actually were, we didn’t even get to see them all in the 90 minutes. We seemed to be fish out of water and a little confused as what we were meant to be doing, my advise is to follow the actors, and not delve too much into each room looking for answers to the story as we did. Enjoy the show, we highly recommend it! Tickets can be purchased from the Malthouse Theatre website and were $120pp. Only 60 audience members per show.

Wow is all I can say. We experienced the hour of the Wolf - brilliant idea and super well executed. We're still processing it, and wish we had time to experience it again - it's that good. Set design is next level - how on earth did they do it??? The Malthouse is a great venue, and no effort spared on the hosting and ushering, which is logistically challenging with this production. Big shout out to all concerned - it's a triumph.
