Synopsis

Lady MacPunch was an original adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Inspired by Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist Macbett, this energetic production presented Shakespeare’s classic tale in the style of traditional Punch and Judy puppet shows. Lady MacPunch followed the Macbeths’ rise to power and the dire consequences their scheming and treachery had on their marriage. The production included original music and a highly stylized, intricate performance in our own signature style.
