Shakespeare By The Bay

Overview

Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, Woollahra Council and Bard On The Beach are collaborating for two weeks in April to bring you Shakespeare By The Bay — two weeks of stunning outdoor stage performances in Robertson Park, Watsons Bay. An annual event, this year you can see the classic love story Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet and the Shakespearean comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor underneath the stars, overlooking Sydney's sparkling harbour.

You can grab a takeaway picnic from Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel (featuring roast chicken salads, artisan stuffed baguettes and spinach and feta frittatas among other menu items) and chow down on it while Bard On The Beach (a national outdoor performance company) bring Shakespeare to life.

Performances will run over two weeks in April — from Thursday, April 13 to Sunday, April 16, and again from Thursday, April 20 to Sunday, April 23. Whether you're trying to impress a date or just looking for a way to fill an evening, we think this is the best way to make the most of the warmer nights that are about to leave.
