Macbeth (screened live from the Royal Opera House)

Key Theatre, April 4

The warrior Macbeth fights on the side of the King of Scotland – but when a coven of witches prophesy that he shall become king himself, a ruthless ambition drives Macbeth and his wife to horrific acts. Murder makes Macbeth king, and intrigue and butchery are the hallmarks of his brief, doomed reign. The witches make another prediction, which also comes true: Macbeth and his lady lose their lives, and justice is restored. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Join Titch, Ma and Pa on their riotous adventure.
