On a barren heath, three sisters mystically appear and tell the great and bloodied Macbeth that he is fated to be King of Scotland. And so begins a terrifying series of events that lead to the murder of Kings, friends, mothers and their children. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth slowly fall prey to soul-corroding guilt as they desperately try to cling to the defiled crown.

Now you have the chance to experience this critically acclaimed production of Macbeth Under The Stars in the Sale Botanic Gardens, starring Hugh Sexton (Rush, Pop-up Globe, Ghostrider) and Nicole Nabout (Return to Paradise, Jack Irish, The Librarians).

Pack a picnic, pop the cork and as the sun sets, sit back and enjoy an unforgettable evening of outdoor theatre—this is a must-see experience!
