Malthouse Theatre

Malthouse Theatre is a leading contemporary performing arts venue located in the heart of the Southbank Arts Precinct. Housed in a beautifully converted 19th-century brewery, the venue serves as a hub for adventurous artists and visionary storytellers. Malthouse is renowned for its commitment to creating inventive, thought-provoking work that explores the human experience through personal, social, and political lenses. The facility features three distinct performance spaces—the Merlyn, the Beckett, and the Tower—allowing for a wide range of productions from large-scale dramas to intimate experimental works. Beyond the stage, the Malthouse precinct includes a popular bar and cafe, making it a vibrant social destination for the local creative community. By championing artistic ambition and cultural diversity, Malthouse Theatre has established itself as a vital counterpoint to mainstream entertainment, offering audiences a unique opportunity to engage with the most exciting and rigorous new developments in Australian and international theatre.
