The Lindley Players present
Macbeth
by William ShakespeareThe web of superstition which surrounds Macbeth obscures, for many, the truth that this is one of Shakespeare's most challenging and dangerous plays.
Written at a time of religious and political upheaval, it treats a number of themes – witchcraft, equivocation, predestination and regicide – in an extremely dangerous fashion. In an age when to be anything other than Protestant could earn the death sentence; Shakespeare, who was at the time in royal favour, confronts these subjects head on.
The intention behind this production is to give full weight to these areas by means of magical illusion, lighting and sound to drive, what is one of Shakespeare’s most tightly written works, to its inevitable bloody conclusion.
The setting is bleak and post-modern, the music operatic and the effects sensational – what can possibly go wrong?

The Lindley Players present
Music HallThe famous, (no inferior imitations), traditional Music Hall will again be performed by the Lindley Players for your delectation. In what will be a summer extravaganza of the senses, prepare to be delighted, surprised and maybe a little titillated. Once again devised by the doyen of the Music Hall art Dr.Howard Lee.
Music with a superior and sparkling series of salubrious scenas and scintillating solos, subtly sequestered into a stylish symposium. Yes, lots of songs. This excellent show will feature magic and the very best of comedy renditions all done in the best possible taste. Your Chairman will be Mr.Glyn Maflin
We have the songs, the music, the performers but what is the essential ingredient? Our revered audience, without whom atmosphere and spirit would be sadly missing.
