“Something wicked this way comes...” – it’s Macbeth, one of Shakespeare’s most gripping, enduring, and (some say) cursed tales. A clash between honour and ambition sets our play in motion, as a Scottish commander encounters three mysterious witches whose prophecies invite him down a path of blood, betrayal, and psychological breakdown. Urged on by his ruthless wife, Macbeth murders his king and seizes the throne, only to find that power stolen by violence carries a terrible price. As the guilt from his traitorous act consumes him, Macbeth is haunted by ghosts, plagued by paranoia, and drawn ever deeper into a cycle of violence.
From the witches’ bubbling cauldron of “double, double toil and trouble”, to Lady Macbeth’s tormented plea of “out, damned spot!”, to Macbeth’s haunting lament that life is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”, this play brims with unforgettable moments that have captivated audiences for more than four centuries.
In this new production, the question of fate versus free will takes centre stage. From the moment the witches deliver their prophecy, we are drawn into the unnerving tension between our destinies, our desires, and our decisions. Was Macbeth an honourable man who tragically succumbed to temptation? A cruel figure repressing his true nature and waiting only for the right excuse to act? Or was he a man who recognised the darkness inside him and loathed it... until a chorus of voices emboldened him to unleash it?
Please note that Friday, 20 March is a special performance starting at 6:45pm, for those unable to make a 7.30pm performance.
