TOURING TO ALL STATES AND TERRITORIES
What do you get when you combine Shakespeare, Andy Griffiths, garden gnomes, daggers, Wizz Fizz and brussels sprouts? Just Macbeth! (abridged) Of course!
Journey to medieval Scotland for this perfect introduction to Shakespeare for young audiences, and the young at heart. Just Macbeth! (abridged) is a really silly version of Shakespeare’s great big gory tragedy packed into a pocket-sized play.
Exploring the themes and story of Macbeth through the eyes of Andy Griffiths’ much-loved characters, this hilarious and irreverent take on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy will have you in stitches!
The Players are Bell Shakespeare’s touring ensemble of professional artists who bring Shakespeare to life in schools and communities across Australia.
50-minute performances are paired with a 10-minute Q&A for an action-packed hour of Shakespeare immersion. Each show comes with its own comprehensive Online Learning Pack to ensure you can make the most of the performance with pre- and post-show resources and exercises.
Each performance explores key scenes and soliloquies, analysis of Shakespeare’s language, choices and themes and contemporary commentary all wrapped up in a fresh, modern narrative.
The Players are sure to be a favourite of students and teachers alike. Book one show or host us for the entire day. Forget booking buses, let us come to you. We’re looking forward to delivering high-energy Shakespeare shows in your school.
