What happens when you combine Shakespeare‘s classic tragedy Macbeth with the most mischievous and conniving of fantasy creatures? Well, you get Goblin: Macbeth.
After becoming a surprise hit of the Calgary theatre season, Goblin: Macbeth is returning with its unique, entertaining, and ingenious spin on the classic Shakespeare play.
