The iconic Shakespeare in the Park is back with a bold new staging of Macbeth.
Set in Fort Canning Park, this breathtaking outdoor spectacle reimagines Shakespeare’s powerful tale of ambition, betrayal, and the devastating cost of power.
Bring your friends and family, lay out a picnic under the night sky, and immerse yourself in a truly magical evening of theatre, where the natural beauty of the park meets the drama of the stage.
Follow Macbeth’s relentless rise to power, spurred by the haunting prophecies of the witches and the unyielding ambition of Lady Macbeth. But as he sacrifices loyalty, morality, and humanity, his kingdom begins to crumble, and the consequences of his ruthless pursuit of the crown spiral out of control. Till June 1, 2025
