Double, Double, Toil and Trouble!
Trouble Puppet uses tabletop puppetry, inspired by the bunraku style, to tell Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s story of fate, ambition, overreach, and terrifying fall, in this compelling original adaptation of Macbeth, scripted by Artistic Director Connor Hopkins (winner of B. Iden Payne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama for The Jungle AND for Frankenstein as well as Outstanding Original Script for The Jungle and The Austin Examiner’s Best New Play Written by an Austinite for The Jungle). Original music by Graham Reynolds.

Trouble Puppet Theater Company is dedicated to the creation of exceptional works of puppet theater, to the promotion of the art of puppetry, and to the support of its practitioners. We dig as deeply as we can into the possibilities that puppetry offers, in its many forms and styles, and seek to balance risk and exploration with a drive for excellent craft and technique. Our work is inspired not only by our artistic passion but by our social, political, and human convictions: that there can be no end to the struggle for knowledge and compassion, against injustice and intolerance. Trouble Puppet is a sponsored project of Salvage Vanguard Theater and is supported by The Jim Henson Foundation, the City of Austin, and individual donors. Toil and Trouble is underwritten by Joel and Dina Sherzer, Roger Thomas, James and Sharon Reck, AustinLiveTheater.com, and Geoff Kruml and is mounted with the generous support of The Creative Fund.
Salvage Vanguard Theater is a hub for Austin artists, audiences, and arts organizations. SVT creates and presents transformative, high-quality artistic experiences that foster experimentation and conversation.
