A squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Water. Gun. Argument and challenge what we choose to believe. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.

Mmmbeth

Mmmbeth

by Allison Williams

A hilarious gender-bending take on the Scottish play!

Everything goes wrong. The witches take over the storytelling, Queen Duncan would rather open a donut franchise than die, Lady M's a bloodthirsty June Cleaver, and the murderers are preoccupied with creating a commercial for their services.

Premiered at the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival!

A really fun interpretation of the play. Kids and parents loved it and it went down really well. A really great way to explore Shakespeare in an accessible way.
