Bogan Shakespeare

The Perth Fringe home grown, comedy award winning, smash hit is heading on the road!

At the local Busselton Bunnings you will find a man like no other. A leader, a visionary, a Retail Operations Manager: Jewlz Caesar. Still riding the high from their victory over Masters Home Improvement, things are going well for the Bunnings retail team. Sales are up, foot traffic is strong and sausage sizzles are going gang busters. But beneath the surface, discontent is slowly brewing. Strap in for a story of intrigue, hubris, betrayal and lack-lustre coffee; a story that explores the truly unknowable horror that is retail work and asks the question, “Worker. Manager. Customer. Who are the real monsters?”

Bogan Shakespeare is a satirical retelling of the most iconic of Shakespeare’s works. This show has something for everybody. Fancy a love story? We got you. Love your sport? So do we. Like a cheeky murder from time to time? We will sort you out.
