This version of Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tragedy goes a little off the rails when it attracts the attention of two eager vampires seeking out a holiday home in somewhere with a suitably sanguine climate. When three inexperienced witches find their efforts to change the course of history thwarted by this exterior meddling and struggle to set events back on the right track, it’s safe to say that all may not go as planned for the man who hopes to make himself King of Scotland – or at least, for his ambitious wife. With the addition of a troupe of incompetent soldiers, a desperate chef, and a whole host of musical encumbrances, the Bard himself would struggle to bring about a resolution.
