The Scottish Play at the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival

Brawling Bard tackles Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” with their characteristic blend of physical comedy, audience interaction, and swords. Lots of sword fights. Sure, “Macbeth” is a famously cursed play, but what could really go wrong? Key actors disappearing at the last minute? No Macbeth to be found? What are the odds of that?

Show Creator(s): Brawling Bard Theater

About the Performer(s): All of Brawling Bard’s shows are originals, designed for fringe festivals, and most have won awards. Their original shows draw on all their diverse skills and backgrounds as actors, storytellers, magicians, side show and improv performers. They have produced an original show each year for the Pittsburgh Fringe, winning the Spirit of the Fringe award (2015), Best Ensemble (2016), honorable mention for Best in Show (2018), and Audience Choice (2019), and have also performed at the Rochester Fringe (2016) and Frigid NY’s So Many Shakespeare’s festival (2020). Along the way they have developed a style of performing that emphasizes direct address to, and interaction with the audience, along with physical comedy and fight work, and, most importantly, a sense of fun. And swords! They love swords.
