About us

The Shakespeare Club of Western Australia, generally known as The Perth Shakespeare Club (founded in 1930) usually meets at 2.00PM on the third Saturday of each month (except January) at Citiplace, on the Perth Railway Station. It is close to the WA Art Gallery so if you don't come on the train you can park your horseless carriage in the carpark beneath the Art Gallery. Our annual subscription is affordable for students and pensioners.

Over the course of the year, we usually read several plays, enjoy hearing an occasional guest speaker, maybe watch a film or two, and throw a couple of parties as well. Works are chosen by vote at the AGM each March. In 2017 we read Shakespeare's Richard III and Henry IV part one, and we ventured into the work of another Elizabethan playwright, John Webster, by tackling his somewhat horrific oeuvre, The Duchess of Malfi.

New members are always welcome - just turn up at 2.00PM on the third Saturday of any month except January. To access the meeting, you will need to go around the back of Citiplace to the door off the arcade that leads to the Barrack St Bridge.
