Toil and Trouble

Trouble Puppet Theater Company presents Toil and Trouble, an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth for tabletop puppet theater.
Double, Double, Toil and Trouble!
Trouble Puppet uses tabletop puppetry, inspired by the bunraku style, to tell Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's story of fate, ambition, overreach, and terrifying fall, in this compelling and original adaptation of Macbeth, scripted by Artistic Director Connor Hopkins (winner of B. Iden Payne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama for The Jungle… Show more And for Frankenstein as well as Outstanding Original Script for The Jungle and The Austin Examiner's Best New Play Written by an Austinite for The Jungle).
Toil and Trouble will feature music by Graham Reynolds, a layered sound and image design, and what CultureMap calls "some of Austin's best creative minds at play."
**HALLOWEEN Party on Oct. 31! Admission that night includes food, drink, and extra trouble!**
Group sales welcome. Director/cast talkbacks available for student groups.
Trouble Puppet is a sponsored project of Salvage Vanguard Theater and is supported by The Jim Henson Foundation, the City of Austin, and individual donors. Toil and Trouble is underwritten by Joel and Dina Sherzer and mounted with the generous support of The Creative Fund.
