440 presents Much ado about Nothing and Macbeth

The words much ado about nothing and Macbeth with little illustrations on them of lips and cauldrons and witches hats.

Four Forty Theatre return for a raucous retelling of Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth - The Comedy! Both performed in one night by only four actors in forty (ish!) minutes each! “This is an exceptionally special, hilarious, speedy tour of two of Shakespeare’s arguably greatest plays!”

Experience the hilarity of not only one of the Bard’s best comedies but also a side-splitting (literally!) Macbeth! In a mere 40 minutes each, they distil the essence of Shakespeare's masterpieces into uproarious performances. “Their inimitable style and charisma definitely set them apart as one of the most playfully ambitious theatre groups around!”

Prepare for an unforgettable night of laughter delivered in a way only Four Forty can! The Witches are back! “Four Forty Theatre proves that there doesn’t need to be a high value production to provide high quality entertainment!”
