About this show
By the receding of my gums... Something wicked this way comes. A comedic and farcical retelling of Macbeth from the witches perspective...

What if the three witches from Macbeth were reimagined as a bimbo shot boy, a klepto DJ and a drag queen? That wonderfully ridiculous premise is the starting point for Mother, Maiden and Crone, a clever piece of…
