Get ready for an unforgettable twist on Shakespeare’s Macbeth! Join us for a thrilling, saucy rendition of this classic tragedy, reimagined with a sassy, sexy bluegrass flair by award-winning theatre company, The Barden Party.

Three words: Music. Mischief. Magic.
Picture the dark, twisted tale of ambition and betrayal—now with a cheeky, bluegrass-infused soundtrack that will have you toe-tapping along to the drama. With The Barden Party’s signature blend of humour, heart, and live music, this adaptation of Macbeth transforms Shakespeare’s gripping tale into a raucous, rocking, and ridiculously entertaining performance.
