Rough Magic 2024 - Articles Page 2

Following the Olivier Award-nominated, ‘fantastically funny’ ★★★★★ (Broadway World) Midsummer Mechanicals, Shakespeare’s Globe and Splendid Productions present a brand-new family show, Rough Magic, in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse this summer.



‘Round about the cauldron go;

In the magic creatures throw...’



Join us in the world of Shakespeare’s magical characters as Macbeth’s wonderfully wayward Weird Sisters cook up a supernaturally silly adventure of their own.



‘Witches' spells, ghosts galore,

Feisty fairies, monsters and more!’



The Globe’s Director of Education Lucy Cuthbertson (Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: Romeo and Juliet; Midsummer Mechanicals, Globe) and Splendid Productions’ Kerry Frampton and Ben Hales (Midsummer Mechanicals, Globe) join forces once again to bring you a magical summertime treat for all ages.



‘By the pricking of my thumbs, something SILLY this way comes…’

– Macbeth, Act IV, scene 1 (kind of...)
