Geelong Repertory Theatre Company
The Popular Mechanicals
Playwright: Keith Robinson and Tony Taylor
Directors: Stacey Carmichael and David McKay
12 NOV - 28 NOV

This hilarious, offbeat comedy takes the spotlight from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and turns the mic over to the play’s beloved, well-meaning troupe of amateur actors. Led by the irrepressible Bottom the Weaver, this motley crew of tradesmen is determined to put on the performance of a lifetime—despite having zero acting talent, absolute chaos behind the scenes, and a complete lack of self-awareness.
Packed with slapstick humor, clever physical comedy, and boundless energy, The Popular Mechanicals is a joyful, silly, and heartwarming celebration of the absurdity of making theatre. Whether you're a Shakespeare devotee or just love a downright funny night out, this fresh production promises high-energy laughs from start to finish.
Don't miss this affectionate tribute to the passion—and peril—of community drama!
