Macbeth - Walking Theatre Company







Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and couldron bubble......Sunday 27th June saw the reinactment of Macbeth where a cast of nearly 30 extras supported the Walking Theatre Company. Starting at Portavadie Marina the guests of Macbeth followed him on his way home to see his wife which ended with tragic consequences. The path took them over to Glenan and through the woods where the story of Macbeth unravelled. Back at Castle Portavadie the play ended with everyone enjoying a grand feast. Be sure to join us on our children's walk on Sunday 11th July at 2.30pm for Treasure Island - come dressed up as a pirate and be part of the swash buckling fun!!
