About this show
After a sold-out, head-banging debut, Rockbeth returns to the Fringe: louder, darker, and even more deliriously doomed. A prophecy. A power-hungry frontman. A band teetering between glorious world domination and total backstage collapse. When ambition collides with reverb and blood-red stage lights, the fallout is spectacular. Featuring classic rock anthems from AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and The Sex Pistols, this is Shakespeare with riffs, fate with fuzz pedals, and murder most metal. Expect shredded guitar solos, unhinged visions, thunderous drums and tragedy at full volume. Part live gig, part Shakespearean meltdown... all killer, no mercy.

The return of this rock-opera spin on Macbeth is the creative genius spilling out of More House School and set on fire by the inciteful and creative hands of Head of Drama David Aldred.
— British Theatre Guide (4 out of 5 stars)
Rockbeth deserves to be a musical and theatrical sensation with standout performances from the three terrifying witches, from Lady Macbeth and the backing band who did so much to conjure up the atmosphere.
