Knebworth Players in the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s production of Macbeth.

The FAHETG Dramatic Society introduces the ladies of the Guild with their producer and stage manager who are trying to produce the classic tragedy ‘Macbeth’ to gain a place at the Welwyn Garden City drama finals. After months of painstaking rehearsals, and under the watchful eye of the adjudicator, events conspire to ensure that things will not be all right on the night. The ladies may rise to the occasion , they may not reach the drama finals but they come close to doing for ‘Macbeth’ what Tom Stoppard did for ‘Hamlet’!
