“It’s Shakespeare, but not as you know it!”
Firm favourites Oddsocks Productions are back in Telford with an exciting new look at one of Shakespeare’s classics. Macbeth will take to the stage at Oakengates Theatre @ The Place at the end of June with a hearty dose of Oddsocks comedy.
Oddsocks Productions is a critically acclaimed national touring theatre company who take classic texts and create bold, challenging, innovative and interactive theatre to be enjoyed by everyone.
Whether it’s a live on-stage car chase (Romeo and Juliet, 2009) or the fairy-king as an avatar superhero (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, 2014) Oddsocks have no boundaries when it comes to creating memorable and unique comedy productions of the classics.
This summer’s rock n’ roll production of Macbeth promises to be nothing short of Oddsocks’ usual mayhem and anarchy.
Shakespeare’s story of ambition turned bad is brought hilariously to life alongside a soundtrack of classic songs.
Oddsocks are passionate about performing Shakespeare with energy and silliness and Macbeth will be no exception. This is a time to expect the unexpected.
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most popular tragedies and tells the story of greed, witchcraft, murder and mayhem. Although the comedy might not leap off the page, Oddsocks have 26 years experience of guaranteeing laughs aplenty.
Alongside their theatre work, Oddsocks also run their Open Doors scheme which engages families and local charities with theatre, aiming to inspire, engage and entertain those who may not normally be able to access theatre.
Oddsocks Productions bring Macbeth to Oakengates Theatre @ The Place on Wednesday 29 June at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £14 each (concessions £13, family of four minimum two children £50) and can be booked online at www.theplacetelford.com by calling the box office on 01952 382382, or in person at the theatre or Southwater One in Telford Town Centre.
