Macbeth
Limerick City, Co. Limerick
23 April - 25 April 2026
Family friendly
Following sold-out runs in Galway and Dublin in 2025, Druid Theatre's five-star production of Macbeth returns in spring 2026 for a three-city tour. Running 23-25 April at the Lime Tree Theatre in Limerick.

This is the Scottish Play like you’ve never seen it before. Druid brings its visceral and uniquely Irish perspective to one of Shakespeare’s fiercest and bloodiest tragedies.

In medieval Scotland, the ambitious army general Macbeth is visited by three witches who foretell his ascension to the throne.

In pursuit of this prophecy, and emboldened by his wife, Lady Macbeth, he sets out on a murderous path that threatens to sever the ties that bind their minds, their marriage and even the nation itself.

Tony Award winner Garry Hynes directs a cast of 11 of Ireland's finest actors, led by Marty Rea as Macbeth and fellow Tony Award winner Marie Mullen as Lady Macbeth.
