Baby Macbeth

Play Ground!

Yes, yes, you read that right: the tragedy of Macbeth, for babies, in Old English and set to music, no less! Agnès Limbos, a leading figure in puppetry and object theater, places the little ones at the heart of Shakespeare’s plots. With crowns on their heads, they marvel at the playful and grandiose scenes coming to life right before their eyes, while adults find their own enjoyment in other, more nuanced layers of meaning… It’s concise, intense, executed with clockwork precision, remarkably effective and well-crafted, and incredibly graceful. Named Best Children’s Show by the Critics’ Award in 2018, this fabulous gem has been enchanting young and old alike for nearly 10 years!
