“Our bold new take on this bloody fight for the crown will find new meaning and entertain audiences like nothing else TuckShop has taken on before.” Chis Clegg (TuckShop Creative Director and Founder”
Further all-drag casting is to be announced.
A new take on Macbeth: In a world where masculinity is policed, queerness is criminalised… the price of visibility is everything. Riots rage outside. Inside, the music of 80’s Britain pulses through the night. Paranoia spirals, loyalty fractures, and desire curdles into violence. Wigs slip. Crowns are stolen, and blood is impossible to wash out under club lighting.
The show will be set against the riotous queer nightlife of Eighties London, and will boast a soundtrack from Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, the Pet Shop Boys and more.
TuckShop’s latest West End show was Snow White at the Emerald Theatre, also starring Kyran Thrax.
