Memories shape our identity, beliefs and actions. They are a way to connect with others and make sense of the world around us.

When we realise it’s missing, it’s time to head back through previous tales on a quest full of imagination. At the end we discover, we weren’t looking for a memory, we were making a whole new one. Spending time together, having fun, working as a team, showing kindness … that is a very special memory.

We all know the story. Three Witches promise Macbeth the Scottish crown, and like any normal person would, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king. Things get rapidly out of hand from there as foul deeds are done, plots unravel, and mysterious spirits appear …
Suitable for all ages and apparitions.
The HandleBards are an intrepid three-strong troupe spending the summer touring Macbeth by electric van, bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.
Praise for previous HandleBards performances…
