Macbeth - an immersive experience
2025-10-30 19:00 - 21:00 | Hideaway Theatre, Arbor Tree Farm, The Green, Cheadle, Staffordshire, ST10 1 XS, United Kingdom
Following a sell-out run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream earlier this year, which marked the opening of their new home, The Hideaway Theatre, down at Arbour Tree Farm, immersive theatre company Lucid Spark returns for the Arts Festival with their boldest work yet: a post-apocalyptic reimagining of Macbeth.
This immersive, site-specific production will take audiences deep into the woods for an unforgettable encounter with Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy. A world where power is cracked, nature is reclaimed and prophecy reigns, Macbeth comes to life like never before.
Lucid Spark has quickly earned a reputation for inventive, atmospheric work, having also performed in Hamlet in collaboration with the Stafford Gatehouse and taken the stage at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2024.
MACBETH
An immersive experience by Lucid Spark. A limited run from 30th October to 1st November.

The Acts for 2026
Headline Act – Roger Monkhouse

Roger Monkhouse is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience.

A highly original and quirky performer, Roger’s trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit.
Since his debut in 1990 Roger Monkhouse has been a regular performer at The Comedy Store, The Glee Clubs and all major comedy clubs around the UK and internationally.
“He is a gifted natural, with the years of experience to know how to handle a crowd, which goes to make him one of the consummate professionals of the stand-up circuit” Chortle.co.uk
Opening Act – Chris Norton Walker
Since 2010, Chris Norton Walker has been performing comedy all over the world, including gigs in Europe and The Comedy Store in LA. He has also performed at numerous comedy festivals all over the UK including Edinburgh, Leicester, Hastings and Bath.
“Could probably inject atmosphere into a vacuum” Notts Comedy Review
Middle Act – Kate Robb
Kate was a Funny Women Awards Semi-Finalist just a few months after her first gig. With relatable content and sharp writing, the jokes come quickly. She has been described as ‘Talented and going places’ (Notts Comedy Review) and ‘Definitely one to watch’ (Gag n Bone Man Comedy)
And all held together with sticky back plastic by your MC Rob Coleman
