Join us for an unforgettable evening of outdoor theatre as the acclaimed HandleBards bring their unique twist to Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the beautiful venue of St John's Church.
Forget the tears and tragedy this high-energy production is packed with mishaps, mayhem and mirth, transforming Shakespeare’s darkest tale into a laugh-out-loud adventure for audiences of all ages. Performed by a talented three-strong troupe touring the UK by electric van, it’s theatre that’s both entertaining and environmentally conscious.
Bring a picnic, a chair or blanket, and dress for the weather!
Whether you're a Shakespeare enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic summer evening out, this promises to be a performance unlike any other.
Book early to avoid disappointment.
