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 at BackDock, ready to perform Shakespeare's gripping drama infused with comedy and live bluegrass music.

Available for both private and public bookings.

How boujee is that?

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. This show is suggested for audiences 12+ because of depictions of violence and mild adult themes.
