Directed by Brendan McMurtry-Howlett and Zach Fraser
Prompted by witches and inspired by ambition, an honourable warrior kills his King and quickly takes his place. Six actors told the story of Macbeth using 15 puppets puppets created by META award winning puppet-maker Zach Fraser. The post-apocalyptic setting was augmented by a community choir who created an eerie world for the puppets to come to life.
