Are you sick of seeing the same old stories on The Box? Are you tired of Aussie entertainment that you can’t relate to? Cop shops, overflowing hospital wards and homes that are packed to the rafters… Are you bored with current theatre offerings too?
Melbourne Playback Theatre Company is the ‘talkback’ of theatre and is one of Australia’s leading interactive theatre companies. The ensemble is made up of some of Melbourne’s finest and critically acclaimed artists.
At a Melbourne Playback performance the audience is the scriptwriter. Your story is the focus. At the start of a Melbourne Playback performance neither the audience nor the actors have any idea what might transpire. The drama and comedy of life tumbles out on to the stage as Melbourne Playback creates theatre before your very eyes.
“You can’t get much closer to the source than the actors of Melbourne Playback Theatre Company, who take their inspiration from the stories of audience members, spoken aloud on the night, then turn them into instant theatre pieces… Marvel as real-life opinions, reflections and experiences are transformed into powerful, entertaining and poignant stage productions… Whatever actually happens on the night, this is theatre that’s never the same twice.” THE AGE
Recent audience feedback:
“A fun meaningful and completely unique evening.”

“Be amazed and inspired by theatre created on the spot.”
