It began as a sudden strange fancy… Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time…

And now she's enlisted in the army, and is searching for her lost brother. But there's a war on and whatever anyone says, their side's coming off worse. Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them.

All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army, a vampire with a lust for coffee and a readiness to fight dirty. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of… the Monstrous Regiment.

The perfect show for Shakespeare lovers and sceptics alike!

Just Macbeth is the silliest take on Shakespeare's great, gory tragedy you'll ever see. School friends Andy, Danny and Lisa are rehearsing a scene for homework when their potion turns real and they're whisked back to medieval Scotland!
