Booze & the Bard

Macbeth! The Scotch Play

  • Australia

Five actors perform a Shakespearean classic in one hour with a twist... one of the actors is drunk!

Tragedy meets tequila in this bloody saga of betrayal, revenge and three extremely chaotic witches.

Don’t miss out on this sell-out adaption of Shakespeare’s least favourite Scottish couple. Watch our cast of improv superstars corral their tipsy troupe-member while juggling Shakespearean monologues, spontaneous dancing, sadistic spinning wheels and spooky balloon spectres.

'The audience is in for a lighthearted night full of drinks and wordplay. Just how Shakespeare would have wanted a weekend spent.' ★★★★ X-Press Magazine

'Their hysterical production of Macbeth was worlds away from high school English classes. No knowledge of Shakespeare is needed to appreciate this masterpiece, but a drink of your own is recommended!' ★★★★½ Fringefeed

Suitable for audiences 18+

Language – occasional coarse language
