Oddsocks reimagines Shakespeare's Macbeth as a high-energy comedy of action, gags and ad-libs for ages 7 and over.
Oddsocks are bringing Macbeth to the Belgrade Theatre in June 2027, running from Monday 14 to Wednesday 16. It's a short run, so you'll have to pick your night early.
They're not doing the play straight. Oddsocks describes it as a brand-new twist on the classic, and the focus shifts to the human side of the story. Macbeth is a successful soldier and a castle-owning conqueror, but he's still struggling to fit in. He and his wife go on a rollercoaster ride of high stakes and low self-esteem, and the production mixes the company's usual action, gags and ad-libs into a ferocious tale framed for our times. It's recommended for ages 7 and over, so it works as a family outing as much as a night out.
