About
The Bard + Garden Party = The Barden Party!
Get ready to spice up your summer with a thrilling, saucy rendition of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Macbeth. Picture the dark and twisted tale of ambition and betrayal reimagined with a sassy, sexy bluegrass flair. 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.
Three words: Music, Mischief, Magic. This show is raucous, rocking, and ridiculously entertaining, presenting Macbeth like you’ve never seen before. It’s accessible, professional Shakespeare, combining the timeless appeal of the Bard with the lively energy of bluegrass.
From the company that brought you the winner of 2024’s Adelaide Fringe Best Theatre/Physical Theatre Week 1 – Romeo & Juliet, 2022’s Dunedin Fringe Excellence Award – A Midsummer Night’s Dream, rockabilly Much Ado About Nothing, the lounge show Cocktales, and the critically acclaimed immersive theatre experience on the superyacht Seabreeze III, Butterfly Smokescreen.
