Red Stitch Review

Good quality plays, cosy stage, kind staff. loved the atmosphere!

Great little theatre ..but seats are super close and the heating was intense. .The play the Fury was great..Chris Connelly was exceptional. .

Always a great place to watch live theatre, very intimate

A comfortable and cozy theatre venue for any small-scale performance lover. I had the amazing opportunity to watch Dance Nation here recently and had the best experience with the facilities, location and the actual show.

Definitely a great spot to get your performing arts fix in an accessible and pleasant location.

Watched "Control". Awesome production, highly recommend.

Boutique theatre that, along with 45 downstairs, has become a favourite. Intimate & gritty productions with heart!

A nice little venue that good great shows.

We watched Michele Lee's 'All the Singles Ladies' at this venue.

I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Incredible actors, wonderful script in an intimate theatre. What a fantastic night out.

Toxic management who believe they ARE the theatre. Treat their ensemble members like slaves working for a pittance while those in management receive high wages and claim they are the reason the company is successful. The chairman of the board favours the AD which in turn means she has full reign to do what she wants without transparency and not in the best interest for the actors who work for them but to enhance her status only in the industry.

The Red Stitch is an incredible theatre that repeatedly pulls of amazing work in a smaller environment.

It's a great theatre with a range of new plays. Wonderful actors.

Really enjoyed the audio Single Ladies written by Michele Lee. Great production.

Small theatre small so you do get the feeling of being part of the performance. Love red stitch as there's always something interesting on in their plays. Worth going.

The show "Single Ladies" was great! The acting was superb. The story was very entertaining

We watched a play called Right now and it was mind blowing! The actors were awesome, the script kept you guessing and the space is very intimate.

This company does some great plays, but I found out (through a relative who works in the industry) that they don't pay their actors properly. The actors get paid way less than the union minimum wage - In fact, I am pretty sure my relative said they get around $1,200 for an entire 7 weeks of work! Maybe it's not the fault of the company. It's no doubt due to lack of funding. However, I think the theatre company should make its patrons aware of the fact that they cannot afford to pay their actors, instead of presenting it as a major professional theatre company. That way, the audience members might get behind them and start a campaign for them, or a rich benefactor might come forward and offer them some assistance. However, rather than state the truth, their website boasts its "employment" of actors in a difficult industry! I don't know how that kind of financial remuneration constitutes "employment".

I would rate it 0 if I could. The play I saw today called antipodes, was uphorrent and distasteful in every sense of the word. I will never come back and would rate them negatively to anyone who asked. I do not say this lightly. They try too hard and it is blatantly obvious so nothing they intend comes to pass. It is good for those who enjoy memes and things so bad they enter a new realm sadness

A wonderful theatre that I've been going to for several years now. The staff here are always so warm and welcoming. The productions Red Stitch puts on are often unique and lesser known plays - and always provide a great discussion afterwards. Ticket prices are really affordable and I will continue to support Red Stitch as long as I live in Melbourne. Definitely check them out if you've never visited before.

Unfortunately (due to the layout of the space) entry is not permitted after a show has started... Don't be late!

Excellent play! Acting, sets, costumes, dialogue... all hit the mark! A must-see production. Characters you have come accross in your life inhabit this play-very today!

Fantastic theatre with excellent production and direction standards, and top level act I g.

It's an amazing place with so many talented artists. Will definitely come back from time to time.

Love this place! The plays are thoughtfully presented and thought-provoking. The sets are always clever & make the most of the tiny space. Always a friendly, homely atmosphere created by the bar staff & front of house. Such a great little theatre.

Intimate venue with great shows and amazing talent. Nice bar for a drink before the show.

What a great show, fantastic actors. Small theatre but we'll worth a visit. Loved the friendly staff and atmosphere.

Funky venue, intimate atmosphere. Well worth a visit

A small intimate theatre with limited seating a good venue with off street parking a bar and toilets and friendly staff. I've been once and are always looking to see what other productions are coming up.

Good acting, nice staff, the play wasn't to my taste.

Intimate venue. Great production. Bar and parking. Loved it.

Was a great night. Seen a few plays here now and an amazing little boy venue with great options to go out and wine and do e after.

This is a theatre company located on a tiny hall behind a church. There is a small number of car parking spaces available. Located directly opposite the Astor Cinema, Red Stitch is an actor's theatre, plays staged here are chosen and performed by the ensemble of actors that performs here. There is a bar available but no coffee sold in the small foyer. Highly recommended.

Red Stitch is a very professional theatre company with great plays and fine Australian writers and directors. An intimate space seating about 80, and deserves our support

Intimate live theater which showcases original Australian play writes seating approximately 70 people

Tonight we joined the full house for the production of the play Sweet Phoebe.. And what a most enjoyable production it was. Having only just discovered this fabulous Ensemble Theatre.. We will be most definitely coming back to see other productions. Not only was the cast just superb and you were on your seat for every word they spoke in this intimate little theatre. Also the friendliest greeting at the ticket office and bar area.. This is most definitely a theatre to be frequenting .
