Google Mother Maiden Crone TheatreAbout the show
Mother, Maiden and Crone is an LGBTQ+ theatre and satire show at Studio, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, by Mother Maiden Crone Theatre. The show is a comedic and farcical retelling of Macbeth from the witches' perspective — reimagining them as a bimbo shot-boy, a klepto DJ, and a drag queen. Set on an imaginary strip in Edinburgh, the characters work at Club Limbo and are confronted with McBride and her hen party, who soon discover the rules of queer spaces. The show runs for 60 minutes and is for ages 18 and over with multiple content warnings.
Why see this show?
Macbeth filtered through a queer nightclub — with a shot-boy, a DJ, and a drag queen standing in for the witches — is exactly as gloriously unhinged as it sounds. A bold, farcical 60-minute show that earns every one of its content warnings.
