“Elsie and Norm’s ‘Macbeth'” by John Christopher-Wood a comical re-telling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the bard’s death. Elsie and Norm invite you into their living room for tea and a little culture. They have decided to perform Shakespeare’s Macbeth for you, but they believe that Shakespeare’s poetry is not very good and there are too many roles, so they have made some changes. You will be joining Elsie and Norm on their hilarious retelling of Shakespeare’s most murderous of tales, while the play unfolds around you. Elsie and Norm’s “Macbeth” is a fun and eccentric experience that you just can’t miss – the funniest tragedy you’ll see all year! Performing at “A Touch of Vintage,” Badstuestræde 12, right off of the pedestrian street in the heart of Copenhagen.

Language: Performance is in English

“This HIT production of ‘Old Times’ must rank as one of the sexiest ever adaptations of renowned playwright Harold Pinter’s work….Its unlimited angles gave the audience the sense they were really look into someone’s living room as a voyeur…HIT has once again succeeded in masterfully presenting an absorbing re-interpretation of Pinter’s work.”

“Det engelske sprog er som skabt til Pinters dramatik. Det er en fornøjelse at høre det spillet på engelsk…. Gå på opdagelse i det pinterske univers, og start for eksempel med ”Old Times” i Krudttønden. Det er en stor, livgivende og intens dødelig oplevelse.”
