The Bard Meets Andy Griffiths

Double, double toil and trouble … Andy, Danny and Lisa are rehearsing the witches’ scene from Macbeth for English. They find themselves transported from their suburban kitchen onto the opening battle scene in Macbeth after daring each other to drink a disgusting potion they had concocted. Andy, Danny and Lisa take on all the characters of Macbeth surprising each other as they slip from their 21^st century way of talking into Shakespearian dialogue.

Castle Hill Players presents Just Macbeth! by Andy Griffiths, which introduces Shakespeare’s most famous play, along with the magic of live theatre, to students of all ages. Just Macbeth! brings together the well loved characters from the Just! series and throws them into a silly world of Macbeth. There is magic, witches, gore, murder, ghosts, girl germs and a gnome. Using comedy amongst the fart jokes, the language of the bard, with its actions and soliloquies, are demystified.

If you want to introduce the wonderful world of Shakespeare with it’s rich language and Wizz Fizz to your whole family then Just Macbeth! is just the ticket … pardon the pun!

Just Macbeth! opens on 21 November 2014 and runs until 13 December 2014.

Tickets are $26 adults and $21 concession.
