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.

Absolutely amazing, the intimate amphitheatre is a perfect setting for this classic and you can feel the heart and soul of these performers poured into their work, the song choice is also fantastic and the cast are incredibly multi-talented actors and musicians, I'll definately be seeing them next year

Fantastic show

Phenomenal, spectacular, will never stop talking about this show. How Shakespeare is meant to, and deserves to be performed. The whole cast was just stellar, from the comedy to the acting to the musicality everyone worked so beautifully together.

An excellent performance in a stunning location - recommend it highly

Such an amazing setting for this unique show. The performance was spot-on, the music was great, and watching the bats fly overhead during the spooky bits made it even more fun!

Do yourself a favour & see this wildly entertaining interpretation of Macbeth. Fantastic music, talented cast - a truly five star Fringe performance!

Awesome music and different vibe to a Shakespeare classic. Very fun. Great setting in the botanic gardens.

Greatly exceeded expectations. Brilliant performance of the Scottish play augmented with music & song. Wonderful setting in wetlands amphitheatre of Bot Gdns (Hackney Rd entry). Bring a cush for the tush. Very talented troop

Fantastic! My favourite fringe show so far, I can't recommend this enough!

I took a couple of teenagers to see this show…they were skeptical 🤣 BUT The Barden Party were amazing. The performances were raw & authentic, the music was fabulous and I loved the way the changing daylight worked with the show. My kids have not stopped raving about it & are asking to see it again. I’m recommending it to everyone I talk to…completely fabulous show
