Shakespeare gets silly with Just Macbeth!

10/10/2008 4:30:00 PM.  | Richard Maxton

Shakespeare is set to come to life for kids through children's author Andy Griffiths' zany take on Macbeth, presented by Bell Shakespeare.

Featuring a talking severed head, a garden gnome, marshmallows, Wizz Fizz and bum jokes, Griffiths squished, stretched, rolled and flattened the Shakespeare classic into Just Macbeth! which will delight families in Sydney and Melbourne.

Griffiths' characters Andy, Lisa, Danny and Jen - from the best-selling books Just Tricking!, Just Stupid! and Just Shocking! - find themselves thrown into the world of Shakespeare's Macbeth after cooking up a witches magical brew for a school project.

Just Macbeth! offers an exciting path to the Shakesperean universe for children and promises to keep them laughing all the way.

Directed by Wayne Harrison (Creative Director of the New Year?s Eve Celebrations on Sydney Harbour and Director of the Closing Ceremony for the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games) Just Macbeth! is also peppered with stars of the stage and screen.
