Play Synopsis – A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy

from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death.

 

 

Director’s Vision – This production will explore the timeless tale of the corruption of power from a new and modern point of view. The play will be anchored in the traditional eleventh century Scottish Highlands with the set and the portrayal of Macbeth himself. But the rest of elements of the show will be drawn from the pages of history or the big screen. In the true spirit of the Bard himself this will be a show where everyone will feel included and understood. We are not standing on traditions; we will lay out the book of history before the audience and show them all the crushing circumstances that have us all re-reading the same page over and over again and never learning from it.
