Fresh from a third straight year of sold-out performances at the Toronto Fringe, Shakespeare BASH'd ventures into darkness with Shakespeare's seminal tragedy, Macbeth. The company is quickly becoming known for their fast paced, text-based, bare bones approach to presenting the Bard's cannon.

"We're taking something classical and getting rid of the stigma so often associated with it." By presenting their productions in bars throughout Toronto, with very little set and an emphasis on clear text, audiences experience the work in a relaxed, immersive atmosphere where patrons are sitting on the edge of their seats, transported into the multifaceted world of Shakespeare's text.
