Melbourne University Shakespeare Company respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung People of the Kulin Nations, who have created and lived their culture on this land for tens of thousands of years. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land. We encourage our audience to look up the work of First Nations theatre companies, such as ILBIJERRI Theatre Company, based in Collingwood on Wurundjeri Country, and Moogahlin Performing Arts, based in Redfern on Gadigal Land.
