The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate
Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's
Production of Macbeth

by DAVID McGILLIVRAY and WALTER ZERLIN Jnr

Produced by KEEFE BROWNING

Performed in January 2009

Yes, it's Shakespearebut not as we know it!

THRILL as the ladies from Farndale Avenue take a steamroller to the tragedy that is 'the Scottish play' and turn it into a tragedy of a different kind.

GASP as they put the set up back to front, and don't realise until midway in the first act.

GAPE as one of the ladies misses her bus and Henry the stage manager is forced to step into the breach...as Lady Macbeth.  Complete with beard and Viking helmet.

All in all, an evening's entertainment that no one will ever forget, whether watching it or being in it.
