IT is 1902. Sir Alphonse King’s Shakespeare Ensemble is battling with gruesome props, ghastly mistakes and unexpected ghosts. Have they fallen foul of the infamous Macbeth Curse?

Terry Deary’s chaotically condensed version of Shakespeare’s play is interlaced with music hall songs and Edwardian theatricality. A perfect introduction to the magic and madness of Macbeth for children aged seven and over.

The show runs at the Arts Centre from Monday, March 21 to Tuesday, March 22. Tickets are £12 for adults and £10 for children. To book call 01793 524481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
