Macbeth

About the Show

Macbeth is the tale of a great warrior with a fatal flaw. After receiving a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland, the heroic captain is consumed by ambition and spurred into action by his power-hungry wife. Macbeth fulfils the forecast by killing the King and then taking the throne. However, wracked with guilt and paranoia both he and his murderous wife slowly unravel...What’s done cannot be undone…

The ASC's sumptuous production uses light and shade to powerfully conjure this dark study of fear that captures the inner-workings of the human mind, the architecture of guilt and the horror of time.
