Living in a big city, and specifically in Barcelona, has many advantages that we sometimes take for granted. One of them is its cultural offerings. This city never rests, there are always plans coming and going and always new entertainment.
From all of them, today we bring you the best plays you can see today in Barcelona, at least according to our criteria. Are you ready?
Macbeth, at Teatre Lliure
Shakespeare’s classic play comes to Barcelona, this time adapted and directed by Pau Carrió. In this story Shakespeare brings us closer to the cursed story of General Macbeth who, dazzled by an encounter with three evil beings, enters into a spiral of ambition and tragic destruction. Machination, power and tragedy.
With this play Pau Carrió returns to Shakespeare for the fourth time, after his adaptations of ‘Hamlet’, ‘Twelfth Night’ and ‘Henry V’. The play is in Catalan, although every Saturday from February 24 it will be overtitled in Spanish and English.
📍Sala Fabià Puigserver, Montjuïc.
📅 Until March 17
💵 From 11€
Cut the red cable, at the Teatre Apolo
After 11 seasons in Madrid and more than 1,500 performances, the improvisation show “Corta el cable rojo” arrives at the Teatro Apolo, where the comedians Ruben Tejerina, Mai Boncompte and Manu Prada will take the stage to interpret the unexpected proposals of the audience.
In total, the shows will have eight different numbers or “gags”, full of humor and provocation that will make you leave with a bellyache from laughing so much.
📍Av. del Paral-lel, 59 (Teatre Apolo)
📅 Until May 5

Improshow, at the Teatreneu
The “Improshow” is one of the classic classics of the Barcelona theater scene and every year manages to be on the podium of the five most watched shows in Catalonia. So even if you’ve never been, I’m sure you have friends, family or acquaintances who have. The dynamic is very easy: upon arrival, the audience writes phrases, situations or ideas on a piece of paper and, from there, the actors create a story that will make you laugh out loud.
So if you haven’t been to any of these shows yet, or want to repeat, until March 31 you can enjoy this winter edition of the “Improshow”.
