Hamlet & Macbeth, the spookiest of all of Shakespeare’s works, have everything you need for a creepy night in: witches, ghosts, existential crises... So, don your scariest wear and embrace your inner ghoul with a monster ball fit for a King. Need some spook-tacular inspiration? Set the stage with these cool tricks (and treats!)...
Setting
There’s something rotten in the state of Denmark, indeed! Evoke the spirit of lit’s most famed (and doomed) Dane with these eerily elegant skull votives from Kosta Boda. Then, fill some Martha Stewart Collection Apothecary Jars with water, food coloring and flowers (lotus pods work really well!) for an unnerving centerpiece.
Act I
Serve your most potent potions in ruby red glassware by Artland. Beautifully handcrafted, these wickedly chic goblets will add a touch of ghoulish glamour.
Act II
Dish out your witch’s brew (a delicious dinner, doy!) from a bubbling cauldron – or this Tools of the Trade Pot – perfect for a soup or stew.
Act III
Indulge in your sweet side with a bewitching display of tantalizing treats. Try these Wilton Metal Cookie Cutters to make gourmet nibbles in the shape of ghosts, coffins, tombstones and more.
Final Act
Enchant your guests with a dramatic reading of your favorite soliloquies: To party or not to party? That’s never a question!
