Rough Magic tickets at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe

After a spellbinding debut last year, Rough Magic returns to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for another summer of supernatural mischief. Created by Shakespeare’s Globe and Splendid Productions, this delightfully silly adventure follows the Weird Sisters of Macbeth on a magical, mayhem-filled journey.

A fantastically fun family show, Rough Magic is perfect for audiences aged 5 to 105.

Catch the magic from 19 July 2025 to 23 August 2025 at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe. Get your Rough Magic tickets today.

‘Round about the cauldron go;
In the magic creatures throw…’

Join us in the world of Shakespeare’s magical characters as Macbeth’s wonderfully wayward Weird Sisters cook up a supernaturally silly adventure of their own.

‘Witches’ spells, ghosts galore,
Feisty fairies, monsters and more!’
