Cabaret Voltaire presents Tiny Ninja Theater's MACBETH starring Mr. and Mrs. Smile as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. What's Tiny Ninja's? The incredible shows are performed by one-inch sized tiny plastic ninja's found in vending machines, as well as several aliens, a robot, and Mr. and Mrs. Smile, who will be portraying Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in the upcoming production.

This is Macbeth as it was meant to be seen, performed by Tiny Ninjas on a briefcase-sized stage magnified with monitors and rear projection. If tiny plastic ninjas had existed in the 17th century, Shakespeare himself would have staged the play in this way. Time Out New York says "... you leave the theater energized and oddly moved." YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!!!!

Tiny Ninja Theater is a New York City-based company dedicated to the principle that "there are no small parts, only small actors." It was founded in 1999 by company director Dov Weinstein. "I had noticed that there were these tiny plastic ninjas in vending machines all across the city," says Weinstein, "but no one was using them to perform classical theater. Something had to be done."
