About Macbeth

 Armed with just a suitcase, NIE’s ensemble of actor/musicians tell this big, famous (and gruesome!) story in a funny and accessible way.

With some help from the audience, the cast bring the story to life, unpacking an old tale with new meaning.

What happens when Macbeth is tempted by power and riches? Should he go after what he truly desires?

A combination of Shakespearean verse and contemporary language (and the occasional recap!) makes the original story clear and easy to follow.

Punctuated effortlessly by an original soundtrack, live music and sound effects, the cast will create comedy, tragedy, fast action, and terrifying power.

With minimal set (but plenty of atmosphere!) the show can introduce Shakespeare to first timers and reveal contemporary themes in a play that many know well. 

Oh, and we should warn you...there’s lots of death.

Please note this production is based on Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' and contains similar themes to the original play, including violence, blood and death.

Age Suggestion - 8-12 years
Polka Theatre creates a range of productions to be enjoyed by children from 0-12 years. Whilst all children may attend our productions, we feel that this story is best suited to the suggested audience. This may be due to the themes or presentation style. We encourage you to consider this when booking tickets. All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult or young person aged 16 years or over.

Please note this production is based on Shakespeare's ''Macbeth' and contains similar themes to the original play, including violence, blood and death.
