Mother, Maiden and Crone is a comedic and farcical retelling of Macbeth from the witches' perspective, presented by Mother, Maiden and Crone Productions at Bedlam Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set on an imaginary strip in Edinburgh, the three colleagues of Club Limbo — a bimbo shot boy, a klepto DJ, and a drag queen — are confronted by McBride and her hen party, who discover the dos and don'ts of queer spaces. The show runs for 60 minutes, is for audiences aged 18 and over, and carries multiple content warnings including nudity, strong language, and scenes of sexual and physical violence.
Why see this show?
A queer retelling of Macbeth that swaps the Scottish highlands for a nightclub strip, with three vivid characters who have every reason to make McBride's hen night memorable. Farcical and with teeth.
