Macbeth
Shakespeare's gripping tragedy of ambition, power and fate. By William Shakespeare | Directed by George Banders. Whats done cannot be undone. 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, Shakespeares revered tragedy tears open the thin fabric between the temporal and magical worlds. This muscular, contemporary production looks at todays world through Macbeths eyes an epoch where double speak 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 Shakespeares Macbeth from Sport for Jove that is true to the text and full of engaging revelations, a wonderful experience for students and teachers.
