"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." - Act 4, Scene 1

This new, powerful and critically acclaimed production directed by Glenn Elston is fresh from a sold-out Melbourne season. Starring the “deeply compelling” Hugh Sexton (Neighbours, Pop-up Globe, Ghost Rider) as Macbeth and the “magnetic” Nicole Nabout (The Clearing, Return to Paradise and The Librarians) as Lady Macbeth, it makes the experience of watching Shakespeare al fresco something special.

“Even the best theatre sets can’t deliver the same atmosphere as the Royal Botanic Gardens” 

Three witches wait on a dank heath to tempt and entice Macbeth to follow his dream to reach for and receive the ultimate title – King of Scotland. But it comes with the very expensive price: self-destruction.

As twilight falls on the heritage trees of Kew Gardens, the stage is set for Shakespeare Under the Stars.

The internationally acclaimed Australian Shakespeare Company, is proud to continue presenting its exciting and visceral productions of Shakespeare in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Tickets to Macbeth include entry into Kew Gardens. An idyllic afternoon of nature followed by theatre under the stars awaits you.
