Macbeth

William Shakespeare

Here is some more detailed information on the content of Macbeth, to help prepare you or those you are bringing with you to see the show.

Live theatre is exciting. It can be loud, bright, shocking at times, and occasionally some of the effects we use, or the themes our productions explore, can trigger distressing emotions.

We know that some of our audiences appreciate detailed information on the content of our shows in order to make informed decisions and to prepare themselves, or members of their party, including those with additional needs.

If there are specific themes you are concerned about, you can call our Box Office team on 01789 331111, from midday to 6pm (UK time) Monday to Friday to find out more about our shows and what they contain.

We offer a Sonic Story for Macbeth, which highlights the loud and quiet moments of the performance. You can download it: Macbeth Sonic Story
