About the event
Join the troupe for a hilariously high-octane production of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ like you’ve never seen before.Forget the tears and tragedy, our Macbeth is chock full of mishaps, mayhem and mirth. We all know the story; Three Witches promise Macbeth the Scottish crown and like any normal people would, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king. Things get rapidly out of hand from there as foul deeds are done, plots unravel and mysterious spirits appear...Suitable for all ages and apparitions.
Returning in 2026 with three performances:
Saturday 4th July - King Arthur and The Holy Fail (Three Inch Fools) | 6.30pm
Saturday 18th July - Treasure Island (Quantum Theatre) | 6.30pm
Saturday 15th August - Macbeth (The Handlebards) | 6.30pm
Cawdor Castle has been producing theatre on the lawn with the stunning Castle backdrop for over 10 years.
Bring your own blankets, cushions, and camping chairs and join us for an outdoor adventure. Come prepared for the weather - the performance will continue come rain come shine!
