An intelligent, exhilaratingly blasphemous sprint through a revered Shakespearean tragedy."
★★★★ EVERYTHING THEATRE
MACBETH:
A TALE OF SOUND AND FURY
Something wicked this way comes...
Madcap, bohemian and all together brilliant."
★★★★★ - THE THEATRE TOURIST
There are some shows you go to where you know within minutes that you're in for a treat. 6FootStories' hilarious and energetic retelling of Macbeth is one of those shows."
★★★★★ WEST END WILMA
Fair is foul and foul is fair...
In our demented retelling of Shakespeare's bloody and thrilling classic, three gnarly fortune tellers live apart from decent society, amongst the rats in an old junk yard. Eager to teach the selfish world of man a lesson, they prepare a fortune reading that will destroy a throne and everything around it...
6FootStories invite you to witness their wayward witches go about plotting the fall of Macbeth, rehearsing what they hope will be the bloody and catastrophic aftermath of their prophecy.
Performed by only three actors in an immersive set made entirely of recycled objects, this is Macbeth as you've never seen it before. The deranged cast will all play Macbeth, and his wife, and all the other major characters, swapping roles like a gory game of pass the parcel.
Macbeth: A Tale of Sound & Fury originally played at The Hope Theatre in 2016, following our acclaimed two-man tragicomedy Soften the Grey there in January 2015. The show was on tour in May and June 2017, and tours again Spring 2018!
