On a deserted battlefield, in the aftermath of a bloody war, mysterious witches appear to loyal Lord and warrior Macbeth. With sinister intent, they tell his fortune and predict his future, which sparks dark thoughts within him. Combine this with a manipulative, darkly ambitious but ultimately flawed wife, this startling encounter, unleashes a bloody chain of events that will see him murder his way to be crowned king, replacing dignity and rules of law with brutality, guilt and paranoia. Macbeth uses any means necessary to hold on to his power. Watch as his world collapses around him and explore how personal ambition and the abuse of power can corrupt and destroy nations, still so relevant today.
With thrilling action and chilling supernatural moments, follow Macbeth’s bloody journey from hero to tyrant, all performed by a stellar cast, and directed by Helen Thorpe in one of Shakespeare’s best known tragic masterpieces. It will simply electrify you!
