'By the pricking of my thumbs, something SILLY this way comes…’. Rough Magic is a wickedly funny new family show from the team behind Olivier Award-nominated, ‘fantastically funny’ ***** (Broadway World) Midsummer Mechanicals.

You are cordially invited to a great gathering of supernatural creatures... the Weird Sisters from Macbeth need to set things right and want all the help they can get from their audience of supernatural apprentices – that's you!

  • The perfect introduction to Shakespeare, with big laughs for all the family.
  • A real treat for the eyes with silly props, hilarious costumes and eye-popping characters.
  • Get a further introduction to one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, Macbeth with an accompanying workshop for ages 5 – 8 and 9 – 12. Find out more here.
