About the Event
About
Experience the premiere of a fresh, captivating production of Shakespeare’s classic, Macbeth. This dynamic new adaptation brings a fresh perspective to one of literature's greatest plays.
An unexpected prophecy at the close of a devastating war sends a national hero and his brilliant wife on a feverish and murderous quest for absolute power. With startlingly beautiful language, Shakespeare’s revered tragedy tears open the thin fabric between the temporal and magical worlds. This muscular, contemporary production looks at today’s world through Macbeth’s eyes – an epoch where doublespeak is rife, where violence is a modern ecstasy and true loyalty is our most valuable commodity.
Shakespeare?combines?Scottish and English history with Greek myth?to one simple end –?to?capture?what it is to be human. What happens to us when?we sacrifice?our?humanity to?get ahead??We live in such a time, an?unprecedented?era that idolises?fame?and celebrity?above?leadership and morality.?In such a time and place, perhaps even nature begins to fight back.?
A boldly imaginative, fully contemporary and?brand new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth from Sport for Jove that is true to the text and full of engaging revelations, a wonderful experience for students and teachers.
