‘Round about the cauldron go; In the magic creatures throw…’
They’re back! The ‘wildly entertaining’ ★★★★★ (The Stage) family show ROUGH MAGIC returns to cast its spell in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at the GlobeTheatre this summer.
Join the world of Shakespeare’s magical characters as Macbeth’s wonderfully wayward Weird Sisters cook up a supernaturally silly adventure of their own.
The Globe’s Director of Education Lucy Cuthbertson (Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: Romeo and Juliet, 2024; Midsummer Mechanicals, 2022-23) and Splendid Productions’ Kerry Frampton and Ben Hales (Midsummer Mechanicals, 2022-23) join forces once again to bring you this magical summertime treat for all ages.
The Weird Sisters need all the help they can get from their audience of supernatural apprentices (that’s you!) and invite you to come along to the show dressed as your favourite magical creature. Fairies, witches, ghosts, or monsters – wherever you belong!
‘By the pricking of my thumbs, something SILLY this way comes…’
– Macbeth, Act IV, scene 1 (kind of…)

Located on the bank of the River Thames in Bankside's Cultural Quarter, Shakespeare's Globe welcomes thousands of visitors to experience world renowned productions of Shakespeare every day.
Founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, Shakespeare's Globe stands a few hundred yards from its original site. Other than concessions to comply with modern day fire regulations, the Globe is as accurate a reconstruction of the 1599 Globe as was possible with the available evidence.
Shakespeare's Globe is best accessed on foot. There are excellent footpaths along the river from Waterloo and from Southwark Bridge. The Millennium Footbridge is 50 metres from the Theatre.
