JUST MACBETH! Buy tickets: Melbourne & Sydney
Bell Shakespeare’s production of Just Macbeth! by Andy Griffiths is a really silly version of Shakespeare’s great big gory tragedy starring Andy, Lisa, Danny and Jen from the JUST series.
And when we say really silly, we mean really REALLY silly as it is performed by six funny but tragic actors and a garden gnome and features a severed head that talks Shakespearean.And when we say really, REALLY silly, we mean really, REALLY, REALLY silly as there are witches and whiz fizz and ghosts and girl germs and weird Elizabethan things like soliloquies and sharp swords and other things beginning with S.
An hilarious and irreverent take on one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, this new show will have you in stitches!

Will Just Macbeth! come to Adelaide, and if so when?

At this point Bell Shakespeare have only scheduled Melbourne and Sydney for 2008, but all going well will no doubt look at touring it further afield in 2009. Fingers crossed!

My boys are 7 and 8 and spend long periods of the day quoting your books and re-reading sections to each other. It would be great if Queensland was added to that tour schedule.

That’s definitely a worry! While 2009 event plans are still undecided, I will be doing a national speaking and book-signing tour in 2008 from late July until mid-September. Dates & venues will be posted on this blog as soon as they become available. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to meet then.
