Macbeth - Come You Spirits

Visceral, immersive, and deeply moving, this bold, fast-paced adaptation strips Shakespeare to its core—revealing the timeless truth: we always have a choice. Featuring veteran Shakespearean performers in powerful collaboration with acclaimed First Nations dancer Ella Havelka, it’s a striking fusion of classic theatre and contemporary expression.

Professional company Come you Spirits Theatre Inc brings an unforgettable 90-minute production of Macbeth—a bold, fast-paced adaptation that lays bare the truth: we always have a choice. Told through five key characters—Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Banquo, Macduff, and The Witches—this powerful retelling explores the human spirit, the pull of darkness, and the redemptive power of love.

They're proud to introduce a groundbreaking new element: First Nations dancer Ella Havelka joins the cast in a striking collaboration with The Witches. Blending ancient wisdom with contemporary movement, this fusion of dance and spoken word transforms the Witches into a visceral, elemental force. The result is a haunting and immersive performance that redefines the role of the supernatural in Macbeth.

This is Macbeth like you’ve never seen it—visceral, immersive, and deeply moving.

The dance that featured the Indigenous ballerina was astonishing... her interactions with the mysterious witch sequenced through layers of feminine, Indigenous, and pixie-like energy that transported us to a place of entrancement. Most highly recommended!
—Professor Kirk Dodd, Sydney University

“Breathing new life into Shakespeare, I heard the words made new again, as if by alchemy” – Prof. Laurie Johnson, President Australia & New Zealand Shakespeare Association
