Outdoor Theatre: Macbeth by The HandleBards

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

  • Booking essential

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!

Doors open at 4.00pm for a 5.00pm start, with the performance lasting two hours including an intermission.

Please leave your pets at home (assistance dogs are permitted at this performance).
