Description
Following a tram-related accident, the renowned cast of Macbeth have been all but wiped out. The only two surviving members are The Messengers. After realising they can split the profits 50/50, these Plebs attempt to tell the tale as a two-man show. One problem – they haven’t read it! Armed only with their wits, wigs and willies, these fools will have you singing and dancing as they fumble their way through Shakespeare’s epic. Whether you know every sonnet and soliloquy or never batted an eye at the Bard, the Plebs will have you laughing from start to finish.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

This show was such great fun! I’m not familiar with Shakespeare in the slightest and it didn’t matter one bit. Two very funny and talented guys.

By a Royal Mile, the best thing I’ve seen at the Fringe this year. Absolutely brilliant! Sexy Murder Song is still playing in my head. What an honour.

How on earth do you do it? Like a million brilliant jokes every minute, insane energy, all singing all dancing fast paced but somehow polished and professional mayhem! As another performer I'm in awe - and very envious!

Never seen Macbeth? I can't think of a more entertaining introduction. Shakespeare scholar? You'll love the references and be amazed at how well they tell the story and incorporate key soliloquys. Want a raucous, silly, high-energy show that keeps delivering laughs? Look no further than the Raymondos!

Two fine young actors and a very well put together show. High energy and fun. All the more hilarious if you know the original 'Scottish play.

An outstanding performance of a Shakespeare favourite by both actors and producer - whether you know the story or not, this fast paced, witty interpretation will have you howling and cheering as tragedy gives way to comedy! I returned for a second time, and it just kept giving - well worth a watch folks, 10 out of 10!

OMG I laughed sooo hard for the whole 50 minutes. Brilliantly acted and so silly to watch. If I could go every night I would. So funny and committed to the bit, I was in it the whole time. Plus I love the marketing pins and coasters! Must see, but get it while you can!

By far the best show that we saw at the Fringe! Had us laughing the whole way through, even as someone who wasn’t overly familiar with Macbeth. A must see!

I struggle with Shakespeare so when I heard the concept I thought this could be for me. It didn’t disappoint, it was hilarious from start to finish, chaotic but incredibly sleek all at the same time. A must see!!

Loved this show it was fantastic. I arrived tired and wet and unsure and left singing. The inventiveness of the performers was fabulous. I was singing along to the great songs, laughing at their jokes and characterization! Go see this show !!!

Absolutely brilliant show from start to finish. Such a hilarious take on such a classic. Full of energy, fun songs and lots of laughs.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed Macbeth more! The talent that the two performers and their producer Georgie have is immense and it shone through here. The show was well acted, sung, danced, quoted and misquoted throughout and one that I will definitely be seeing again.
Congratulations on an outstandingly superb show!
