Thoroughly entertaining! All the performers are supremely talented and make for an unforgettable experience. Queen Duncan especially spectacularly portrayed with humour and wit!

A gender bending, raucous romp of a Shakespeare performance, filled with quick quips & physical comedy, as well as angst & madness that tears at the heart. Beautifully woven with bluegrass songs that reflect the emotional highs and lows of the classic MacBeth. There are plenty of authentic moments that Shakespeare afficiados will love, coupled with a new take to engage modern audiences.

My first time seeing this group, and their talents, paired with their choice of song at the exact right moments had my emotions deeply affected in all the best ways- crying, laughing, feeling utterly connected. What an incredible performance. Creative genius at its finest. I’d love to see them again and highly recommend this to all!

Time in the hour run through the toughest of days! Standing ovations!!!

Awesome energetic acting. Lots of clever, funny moments bringing to life an ancient play. Lovely interplay of the live Bluegrass music. Would love to see more of the Barden Party.

Having seen them twice I have to say it is harrowing, raw and emotional. Yet the skill with which they perform and their song choices made me feel so deeply connected to the performance and with the other members of the audience. Never have I seen a live show cut me to my core and bring me to tears yet have me laughing the very next second. They deserve the world and are an absolute must, they have me as a forever fan

Fantastic show in the Botanic Gardens. One show left - you will regret missing this one.

Magical. Awesome performance in a perfect setting. Truly summed up for me what a Fringe is all about … fresh ideas, innovative work, performed brilliantly. Shakespeare would have loved it!

Lots of fun

Macbeth like you’ve never seen it before! This talented group of actors and musicians had us spellbound. Catch this show while you still can!

Fantastic show had us enthralled throughout the whole performance. Fantastic music. Great setting. Do yourself a favour and go and see for yourself

Sometimes you see a performance that defies mere words. The Barden Party’s Macbeth was one of these. It was sublime. The mix of bluegrass music and Shakespeare sounds absurd, but it more than worked, it added another dimension to the tale. The energy from this company is off the scale. The direction of acting and music in the round is incredible. This is how Shakespeare should be performed - with passion and intimacy and interaction with the audiences.
