Description

Classification

,

One couple’s ruthless thirst for power turns nature upside down in Shakespeare’s bloody tragedy Macbeth.

Queanbeyan transforms into the eerie beauty of the Scottish Highlands as the infamous witches weave their dark prophecies and Macbeth rises to power amidst a whirlwind of murder, secrets, and the occult, with a dynamic cast (and maybe a few audience members) who will bring the play to life. 

Gather your friends, pack a picnic, and strap in for a night of greed, ambition, and deception. Whether you’re a Shakespeare aficionado or new to the Bard, don’t miss this chance to experience Shakespeare’s shortest, sharpest, and bloodiest play like never before, as nature and theatre collide.

A co-production with Lakespeare, enjoy a summer season of Shakespeare in Queanbeyan and Canberra at a range of venues including free outdoor park shows around Canberra, ticketed indoor shows at ACTHub, and a boutique dining and theatre experience at Lake George Winery. See www.lakespeare.com for more information.
