Macbeth
Get ready to spice up your summer with a thrilling, saucy rendition of Shakespeare's dark and twisted tale of ambition and betrayal reimagined with a sassy, sexy bluegrass flair, performed in a stunning garden setting! 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.
Imagine this: A talented troupe of travelling actors arrives, ready to perform Shakespeare's gripping drama infused with comedy and live bluegrass music. You and your friends sit, surrounded by nature, as you become immersed in the scandalous, spirited, and intimate world of 'Macbeth'.
Raucous, rocking, and ridiculously entertaining, it's 'Macbeth' like you've never seen before.
Guests must arrive through the Hackney Gate - listed at C6 on the Botanic Gardens site map. There are two carparks on either side of the gate for guests to park in. The show is outdoors, so guests should bring whatever they need to feel comfortable.
Presented by: The Barden Party
The Barden Party was born in Laura Irish's New Zealand backyard in the height of Covid restrictions. Laura had an idea - The Bard + a Garden Party was sure to be a good time for all and just what people needed in tough times. Thus, the Barden Party was created - a nimble show that could be performed in any space it encounters - and what better way to do that than like travelling troubadours did hundreds of years ago!
Since 2021, the company has toured New Zealand, Australia and the USA with 4 Shakespeare adaptations: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo & Juliet and now Macbeth - infusing live music to the plays bringing new life to classic stories. In 2023, the company produced an immersive 1920's production "Butterfly Smokescreen", set aboard a real-life super-yacht!
