NT : What's On : Productions : Macbeth
Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
in a version by Carl Heap
Suitable for schools and families with children aged 7 years upwards.
‘Tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil.
Three weird sisters, an eerie prophecy and a lust for power start a spiral of betrayal which has disastrous consequences.
What’s done cannot be undone.
Following the success of last year’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Carl Heap returns to direct Macbeth for this National Theatre touring production for younger audiences.
Seven actors play multiple characters and a plethora of instruments in this engaging and inventive production, providing perhaps the best introduction for a child not only to Shakespeare, but to the transforming magic of theatre itself.
Related workshops for children and families will be available during the run.
