Goblin: Macbeth

January 11 - February 2, 2025

A Spontaneous Theatre Creation by Rebecca Northan and Bruce Horak with Ellis Lalonde. 
Goblin: Macbeth was first produced by The Shakespeare Company, and Hit & Myth Productions

When three Goblins come across a copy of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, they decide to take over the stage, choosing the bloodiest play they can find, Macbeth. Blending comedy, fantasy and tragedy, in an unpredictably interactive and exciting theatrical experience, the goblins present a uniquely fresh take on a Shakespearean classic.

Age Recommendation: 14+
Content Advisory: Contains offstage murder, strong language, non-toxic haze, adult content, and violence

Accessible Performances are taking place on January 26 at 7:30 pm (ASL Interpreted and Closed Captions), and February 2 at 1:30 pm (Touch Tour and Audio Described). Funding for Accessible Performances is provided by the Edmonton Community Foundation.
