Best show I've seen this year. Absolutely loved this fresh take on a classic tale! The talent of this troupe is amazing - I think I had a crush on every single cast member by the end of the show.

Funny, smart and accessible Shakespeare

Awesome night out in the gardens. Barden Party do Shakespeare that's lively, thrilling, heartfelt, and funny. Plus live music with energetic rhythm and lush harmonies. All three generations in our group loved it. Make sure you bring your cushion, the gardens are beautiful but the seats are hard.

So wonderful to see the Barden Party back at the Fringe, and bringing such an incredible performance! The cast are completely engaging and make this an unmissable highlight of the festival season. Cant recommend this show enough!!!

Bloody brilliant. Don’t miss it. Genuine theatrical gold

This was a very compelling and energetic version of Macbeth. It’s not my favorite play by the bard, but it’s well worth seeing. And we really enjoyed the way they wove the music into the production and gave it some much needed flow.

Absolutely phenomenal, beautiful performances from a phenomenal, beautiful cast. A must see for people who think they don't like Shakespeare.

Now that's a performance I'll remember for the rest of my life. Well acted, delivered with passion with a mix of song and music the old Bard himself would be proud of. Oh and the location is fantastic.

The Barden Party have proved that all the world's a stage by taking their Shakespearean productions to venues of all shapes. They roost this Fringe at the Botanic Gardens amphitheatre which feels purpose-made for this utterly delightful presentation of Macbeth. The bard's immortal words are only gently modernised with but a peppering of contemporary language, and the play's power is elevated through the addition of music, bluegrass style, swelling the passions where mere words could not suffice.

I finally understood Macbeth through this intensely well performed production. Outstanding

Magnificent performance with unexpected musical delights! Thank you to The Barden Party <3

Great show in a beautiful setting
