About the event
From the organiser, as published on Ticketmaster.
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most performed plays. The piece explores the corrupting force of power and its terrifying consequences, both political and personal.
At the same time, it is an intense and entertaining story – a thriller, a war story, a love story and a supernatural nightmare. The witches hover over the action as both demonic forces and restorative guardians of the natural order that Macbeth and his murderous wife attempt to destroy.
The evil they unleash strikes them down, and the audience follows how boundless ambition collapses into doubt and madness. TNT's production, directed by Paul Stebbings, was the company's first Shakespeare production and has been revived and toured to over forty countries on four continents since 2001.
The performance has delighted audiences from London to Beijing and from Australia to Norway. This is an intense and powerful version, driven forward by the witches' presence and an atmospheric musical soundscape by Paul Flush.
Forest and castle merge on stage, and the witches are almost constantly present, neither man nor woman, but relentless as Greek furies. The production highlights the poetic power of Shakespeare and shows how the play's timeless themes of power, morality and evil still speak strongly to our own time.
