The critics agree: Macbeth is superb
"I have yet to come across a production of Macbeth in which the weird sisters are so cannily used"
" City Lit’s Macbeth is among the finest non-Equity Shakespeare you’ll see anywhere"
" Each performance in the strong ensemble is carefully crafted; the resulting interpretation is lively and gripping"
Now Closed
A musical version of the exploits of Mr. Toad, an amphibian obsessed with motor cars, and his steadfast friends Rat, Mole and Badger, who attempt to break him of his terrible habit, against the background of a class struggle in the Wildwood. Featuring an eclectic score made up of rock, reggae, tin-pan alley, spirituals and a Gilbert and Sullivan send-up.
A masterpiece for all ages!
See what the critics have raved about:
"For the curious child in all of us"
