Review: ‘Shakespeare’s Best Bits’ at Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens (2025-2026)

Riotous and ridiculous in equal measure, Shakespeare’s Best Bits is an anarchic comedic romp that gives its talented troupe of six actors a chance to show off their glorious comedy skills, in a phenomenally entertaining two hours of slapstick comedy inspired by the Bard’s great works.
