"To be, or not to be, that is the question." Following the success of ‘Macbeth’ at Polka last year, NIE returns, reimagining the world’s most famous play in a funny and accessible way. Two actors and one musician - armed with seven props and a suitcase - bring a bitesize retelling of Shakespeare’s family drama of revenge, justice and moral dilemmas to life in 60 minutes. Come on a roller-coaster of excitement, humour and grief using Shakespearean verse, contemporary language and inventive staging to make the story engaging and exciting for young audiences.
