Sage Yellowfin is 160 metres from the QPAC Playhouse. We time your service around your curtain — arrive relaxed, not running.
Shake & Stir Theatre Co brings a bold, contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare's darkest play to the QPAC Playhouse from 6 to 21 June 2026. Known for their visceral, high-energy productions, Shake & Stir have sold out venues across Australia — and this new Macbeth is already generating significant buzz as one of Brisbane's most anticipated theatre events of the year.
The QPAC Playhouse is on Melbourne Street, South Bank. Sage Yellowfin is at 24/164 Little Stanley Street — a straight, flat, 2-minute walk. Pre-show dining is our speciality: we time your service so you arrive comfortable, not rushed.
The QPAC Playhouse has strict lockout — latecomers may not be seated until an interval. Don't cut it close. Here is how to plan:
| Show time | Arrive for dinner | Allows for | Walk to QPAC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7:30pm | 5:45pm | 2 courses + drinks | Leave by 7:20pm |
| 7:30pm | 5:30pm | 3 courses | Leave by 7:20pm |
| 2:00pm (matinee) | 12:15pm | 2 courses + drinks | Leave by 1:50pm |
Tell us your show time when you book — we pace your service so you are never watching the clock. The walk from our front door to the Playhouse entrance takes 2 minutes.
Macbeth runs approximately 2 hours. The right pre-show meal keeps you satisfied through the performance without weighing you down. Here is what works well before an evening at the Playhouse:
