About

The HandleBards bring Macbeth to Telford Theatre on Tour in a hilariously high-octane production packed with mishaps, mayhem and mirth.

This is Shakespeare as audiences have never seen it before. The tragedy is turned on its head in a fast, funny and wildly entertaining retelling of the classic tale, as mysterious spirits appear, murderous plots unfold and everything rapidly spins out of control.

Performed by the intrepid three-strong troupe, this fresh take on Macbeth delivers big laughs alongside the familiar story of ambition, power and chaos. Suitable for all ages and apparitions, it offers an accessible and playful way to enjoy one of Shakespeare’s most famous works.

The HandleBards spend the summer touring venues across the UK, bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to audiences far and wide. Full of energy, wit and inventive storytelling, this is a Macbeth with a difference.
