KL Shakespeare Players

Theatre Company

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

From its humble beginnings in 2011 performing 5 shows of its abridged Julius Caesar, the company has grown to be one of the busiest and most involved theatre companies in Malaysia.

It has become the theatre company of choice for educational institutions. To date, it has produced more than 30 productions, including collaborations with local companies and international partners, like the David Glass Ensemble.

It has traveled to the Philippines and South Korea. Last year, it traveled to an international theatre competition Teatro Nudo, organized by Spazio Teatro NO’HMA Teresa Pomodoro in Milan, Italy and was one of two companies to win an award. It was then invited to be a judge for this year and next.

In 2023 so far, KLSP has performed over 80 shows and will close with more than 100 performances, reaching audiences in all Malaysian states.

The company is helmed by artistic director, Lim Kien Lee and executive director, Lim Soon Heng.
