👍👍 Great spot within the botanical garden especially as they consistently have arts performances like circus, drama etc where you get to watch them while having a picnic .. It is lovely to be soaking up in the lawn for these events. During the events there seme to be one or 2 bars operating too People often mention Shakespeare,

Great space for shows such as the circus and Shakespeare in the park. Don't bother driving. Catch public transport to St Kilda Rd and walk up.

The Australian Shakespeare Company performance of a Midsummer Nights Dream at the Botanic Gardens is an experience no Melburnian should miss.

Shakespeare in the Park. Fantastic entertainment. Never read Comedy of Errors but the actors make it easy to follow
