Join the troupe for a hilariously high-octane production of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ like you’ve never seen before.

Forget the tears and tragedy, our Macbeth is chock full of mishaps, mayhem and mirth. We all know the story. Three Witches  promise Macbeth the Scottish crown and like any normal people would, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king. Things get  rapidly out of hand from there as foul deeds are done, plots unravel and mysterious spirits appear...

Suitable for all ages and apparitions.
 
The HandleBards are an intrepid three-strong troupe spending the summer touring Macbeth by electric van, bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK. This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to  dig into, and dress for the weather.
