About Lady MacPunch
Lady Mac-Punch was an original adaptation of Shakespeare’s MacBeth. Inspired by Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist MacBett, this energetic production presented Shakespeare's classic tale in the style of traditional Punch and Judy puppet shows. Lady Mac-Punch followed the MacBeths’ rise to power and the dire consequences their scheming and treachery has on their marriage. The production included original music and a highly stylized, intricate performance in our own signature style.
“The company is facing new and demanding challenges with Lady Mac-Punch as we break down the elements of traditional and absurdist styles of theatre while using the cruel nature of the Punch and Judy puppet shows.”
-Artistic Director - Shahin Sayadi (2003)
