Original text
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society ladies mount yet another assault on the classics with a startlingly original production of Macbeth staged to get them to the Welwyn Garden City Finals. Under the carefully mascara'd eye of adjudicator George Peach, all events conspire hilariously against them.
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth was first presented on August 23rd, 1976 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This revised version was first presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe on August 22nd, 1983.
