On Tour: Macbeth

Sleep no more…

The ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war. Ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are thrust towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.

This epic and visually daring production of Shakespeare’s most intense tragedy embarks on a tour of the UK and Ireland following its sold out run at the National Theatre.

Directed by National Theatre Director Rufus Norris (Cabaret, London Road) and designed by Rae Smith (War Horse, This House), this new production propels Shakespeare’s classic title into a post-apocalyptic world of anarchy and uncertainty.

Please note: Macbeth contains scenes of a violent nature.
