About the Play

Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy gets a wildly irreverent makeover.

Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy gets a wildly irreverent makeover in Macbeth: A Bloody Good Comedy — a fast-paced riot of slapstick, satire, and sheer theatrical chaos. With power-hungry schemers, ridiculous prophecies, and a banquet of absurd surprises, this madcap parody gleefully plays with theatrical convention, turning tragedy into riotous delight.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare purist or a comedy junkie, prepare for a bloody good time!

About the Company

The Quill and Dagger Theatre Company

The Quill and Dagger Theatre Company creates fast, funny, and theatrically inventive work rooted in the Fool’s tradition. With backgrounds performing in the legendary Festival of Fools — through ensembles such as Sheer Madness and The Ship of Fools — they carry forward a rich lineage of irreverent, intelligent comedy.

Inspirations range from the verbal brilliance of Tom Stoppard to the wild absurdity of Charles Ludlam’s Theatre of the Ridiculous, the spirited charm of Danny Kaye, and the enduring genius of Shakespeare. With wit, surprise, and gleeful theatricality — laughter that is both thoughtful and cathartic.
