Shakespeare meets folk horror in this visceral tale of ambition, prophecy, and the corrosive effects of power.

“It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood.”

About the Show:

A traitor is defeated in battle and slain. A man will stop at nothing to become king. A wife incites her husband to murder. All the while, three witches watch, pulling the strings as they amuse themselves with the affairs of mankind. Is ambition the inescapable, eternal folly of man? Or are stronger forces at work?

About the Company:

The Whole Pack is an all-female Shakespeare company bringing something daring and different to Shakespeare to bring the magic of Shakespeare’s plays to life for audiences.

Reviews of our previous productions include:

"The love of Shakespeare’s language is apparent in its delivery, and the ensemble work well together, never missing a step. This company have great promise, and a close eye should be kept on their future work." -Caroline Worswick, North West End Theatre

“It’s colourful, full of humour and very beautiful: one of those rare shows it which it was quite difficult not to smile with pleasure throughout.” -Susan Elkin
