A contemporary theatre company in the heart of Melbourne, Australia, Malthouse Theatre is a home for performing arts that offer alternate perspectives.

Based in a dedicated venue, The Coopers Malthouse, the company is driven by the belief that theatre should be inventive, provocative and entertaining: a unique human experience that sparks conversation about our place in the world.

We make, present and curate contemporary theatre that isnÍt afraid to explore complex personal, social and political ideas in entertaining and subversive ways. We believe theatre is created through collaboration.

Our theatre invites eclectic audiences to come together, ignites conversation and creates a forum to discuss the city and world we live in.

We value theatre that is:

Inventive, provocative and entertaining
Ignites political, social and civic conversation
Capable of influencing and generating change
