The Bard + Garden Party = The Barden Party!
Get ready to spice up your summer with a thrilling, saucy rendition of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Macbeth. Picture the dark and twisted tale of ambition and betrayal reimagined with a sassy, sexy bluegrass flair, performed outside at the lovely Rotorua Arts Village! Award-winning theatre company, The Barden Party, is back again this year with their signature blend of humour and heart, transforming Macbeth into an unforgettable experience full of music, mischief, and magic.
Imagine this: A talented troupe of travelling actors arrives at your house or venue, ready to perform Shakespeare's gripping drama infused with comedy and live bluegrass music. You and your closest friends sip wine, either surrounded by nature or comfy and cosy indoors, as you become immersed in the scandalous, spirited and intimate world of Macbeth. Available for both private and public bookings.
How boujee is that?
Three words: Music, Mischief, Magic.
(This show is raucous, rocking, and ridiculously entertaining, presenting Macbeth like you've never seen before. It's accessible, professional Shakespeare, combining the timeless appeal of the Bard with the lively energy of bluegrass. This show is suggested 12+ because of depictions of violence and mild adult themes.)
From the company that brought you the winner of 2024’s Adelaide Fringe Best Theatre/Physical Theatre Week 1 - Romeo & Juliet, 2022’s Dunedin Fringe Excellence Award - A Midsummer Night’s Dream, rockabilly Much Ado About Nothing, the lounge show Cocktales, and the critically acclaimed immersive theatre experience on the superyacht Seabreeze III, Butterfly Smokescreen.
Book your enchanting night with The Barden Party and let The Barden Party’s Macbeth sweep you off your feet!
