The Bard + Garden Party = The Barden Party!

Get ready to spice up your summer with a thrilling, saucy rendition of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Macbeth. Picture the dark and twisted tale of ambition and betrayal reimagined with a sassy, sexy bluegrass flair, performed in a stunning garden setting or indoor venue near you! Award-winning theatre company, The Barden Party, is back with their signature blend of humour and heart, transforming Macbeth into an unforgettable experience full of music, mischief, and magic.

Three words: Music, Mischief, Magic.

(This show is raucous, rocking, and ridiculously entertaining, presenting Macbeth like you've never seen before. It's accessible, professional Shakespeare, combining the timeless appeal of the Bard with the lively energy of bluegrass. This show is suggested 12+ because of depictions of violence and mild adult themes.)

Book your enchanting night with The Barden Party and let The Barden Party’s Macbeth sweep you off your feet!
