  3. MacBeth: A Tale Told by an Idiot!


The return of Eldritch Theatre’s dementedly inspired, one-man MacBeth! Shakespeare’s blood-soaked king, with weird witches, viscera-sopped murders, nightmares of madness, and terrifying occult prophecies crashing head on with our ghoulishly giddy bag of timorous trickery! Performed by a solo actor using a diverse range of multi-sized puppets, masks, and parlour magic, cosmic horror, and lowbrow pop, this Mad Mackers is a is equal parts high tragedy and cartoonish lunacy!

We revel in the return to the world of William Shakespeare’s MacBeth: A Tale Told By An Idiot, onstage at the Red Sandcastle Theatre from May 7th to 18th, 2025, with special daytime matinees made available for youthful scholars. This innovative, uncanny staging of Shakespeare’s most terrifying tragedy is created and performed by Eric Woolfe (Requiem for a Gumshoe, Two Weird Tales), directed by the mad genius, Dylan Trowbridge (Requiem for a Gumshoe, Space Opera Zero) and designed by Eldritch Theatre’s resident creepy couturier, Melanie McNeill (Dora Winner for Space Opera Zero! and Dora Nominee for Requiem for a Gumshoe), and Gareth Crew (Dora Nominee for Requiem for a Gumshoe) dazzlingly demented lighting design. Presented with Eldritch Theatre’s signature style of demented puppetry, and close-up magic, dipped in a heavy dollop of Jacobean witchery, oozing in the occult.
