Round Earth Theatre Company, Theatrical troupe in Strahan, Tasmania, Australia.
The ensemble uses the Richard Davey Amphitheatre to present regional stories through dramatic performances. Shows take place in an open-air setting where actors and audiences share the region's history together.
The company was founded in Western Australia in 1972 and initially traveled through remote mining and Aboriginal communities. It settled in Tasmania in 1980 and has shaped the local theatre scene since then.
The company brings Tasmanian stories to life on stage, showing how the region keeps its past alive through performance. This form of storytelling connects people with their own roots and makes history tangible.
The main show runs daily at 5:30 PM from September to May and lasts about 90 minutes. Visitors should dress warmly as performances are outdoors and weather in this region can change quickly.
Between 1975 and 1980, ensemble members traveled through North America, Europe, North Africa, and India to gather performance techniques and stories. This global experience still shapes the group's unusual artistic approach today.
