Why see Category Is Macbeth?

Drag Macbeth

Category Is Macbeth brings you Shakespeare's bloody tragedy like you've never seen before. With a full cast of drag performers, the production re-imagines the tale in 1980s Britain, where drag is a way to cope in a world that doesn't accept queerness. Starring Drag Race UK (series 5) and Masterchef winnerGinger Johnson as Macbeth and fellow Drag Race champion (series 6) Kyran Thrax as Lady Macbeth, don't miss this thrilling interpretation for a modern age!

in the neon-lit underground of 1980s Soho, to be queer is to be revolutionary. With the synth-drenched sounds of 80s legends like Depeche Mode, the Pet Shop Boys, Soft Cell and others, this version of Macbeth swaps the traditional battlefields of Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy for smoke-filled backrooms and strobe-lit dancefloors. In this world, prophecies are shared in dressing room mirrors and the power struggle is fought for in sharp heels and heavy eyeliner.
