Critically acclaimed theatre Company Rogue Shakespeare, under the direction of actor/director Ryan J-W Smith have hit London with the UK premiere of their award-winning comedy MacDeth.

Described as ‘MacBeth gone wrong’ or ‘Shakespeare meets Monty Python’, MacDeth! (in which Smith also stars and directs) thrilled critics and played to sold-out (over-sold!) houses at the Hollywood Fringe. MacDeth was awarded the award for Best International Show, the second year running that Smith has walked away with the award at the Hollywood Fringe. His production of Love Labours Won, won the award last year.

Smith is somewhat of a Shakepeareanbuff having written and published his own award-winning iambic verse. Smith's first 500 Sonnets were published in 2012.

MacDeth! (65 mins Theatre/Comedy) - as part of The Camden Fringe - plays:

The Cockpit, Marylebone, London - Aug. 15, 16, 18 @ 7pm, Aug. 25, 26 @ 9pm, Aug. 27 @ 4pm & 9pm

MacDeth! also plays:

The George IV (Headliners Comedy Club) - 185 High Road, Chiswick - Aug 19th @ 8.30pm

Tickets for both venues are available via www.macdeth.com or www.rogueshakespeare.com - or on the door.
