We’re delighted to be bringing Cardboard Adventures’ MakeBeth to Oxfordshire schools during the Summer Term in 2026.

With live music, puppetry and plenty of hands-on creativity, MakeBeth transforms Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy into a joyful, laugh-out-loud, cardBARD adventure.

Throughout the performance, pupils will make the witches, become the moving trees of Birnam Wood, and even help Lady Macbeth with that damned spot! Using Cardboard Adventures’ trademark sustainable cardboard design, this playful, interactive, craft-along cardboard retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth is made especially for audiences aged 7 to 11 by Cardboard Adventures and Shakespeare’s Globe in partnership with Chichester Festival Theatre and Leeds Playhouse.
