Something wicked / brilliant / rocking / thrilling this way comes!

It’s the one with the Dagger!

Shakespeare’s thrilling, chilling tragedy - Macbeth - in an exciting, easy-to-understand musical adaptation arrives in Abu Dhabi as part of an international tour.

The acknowledged masters of Shakespeare for children, young people and families - Shakespeare 4 Kidz - bring their acclaimed musical thriller to Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation in a dynamic new actor-musician production.

S4K’s MACBETH is the story of a noble Scottish warrior who hears an extraordinary prediction from three mysterious figures: one day he will be King.

There’s only one problem.

Scotland already has one.

What follows is a thrilling, chilling story of ambition, murder, betrayal, ghosts and revenge as Macbeth murders his way to the crown - and fights to the death to keep it.

And just when Macbeth thinks he is invincible, there’s a stunning twist to come.

Chenery & Gimblett’s renowned S4K style blends Shakespeare’s original text with easy-to-understand modern dialogue, music, songs and humour to create a unique retelling “guaranteed to keep kidz of all ages on the edge of their seats”. - London Evening Standard
