Macbeth: Blood & Bluegrass by The Barden Party is a critically acclaimed musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic play. Set to a score of Americana and bluegrass music, this version of the bard’s tale blends classic literature with a modern twist alongside original arrangements of the music of Mumford and Sons, Dolly Parton and The SteelDrivers, to create an emotional, accessible, toe-tapping theatrical experience.

The work was devised and developed in Wellington, New Zealand and toured around NZ and Australia from November 2024 to March 2025, winning Best Theatre Week 2 at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and receiving multiple five-star reviews along the way. The Barden Party then brought the production to The Edinburgh Fringe in August 2025, where it received five-star reviews from Theatre Weekly, Musical Theatre and The Recs, along with standing ovations from audiences.

You’ll never see the notorious Scottish Play in the same way again!

Are you community spirited? Would you have a few hours to spare each month?

Kemnay village hall is seeking members of the public to join our management committee.  We  would especially like to hear from people with business management, finance, legal, marketing, and social media experience but we will welcome anyone who has the willingness and enthusiasm to take the hall to new heights.

We have a two-tier system in place, which is comprised of Trustees (the main board) and Members.

The roles are defined as follows:

the MEMBERS – who have the right to attend members’ meetings (including the annual general meeting) and have important powers under the constitution; in particular, the members appoint people to serve on the board and take decisions on changes to the constitution itself;

and

the BOARD (also known as TRUSTEES)- who hold regular meetings, and generally control the activities of the organisation; for example, the board is responsible for monitoring and controlling the financial position of the organisation.

If interested you are welcome to attend our next committee meeting in the Friendship room of the village hall on MONDAY 3^RD MARCH 2025 AT 7PM to meet current committee members and find out what is involved.

Please email bookings@kemnayhall.co.uk to note your interest.
