Macbeth by William Shakespeare

“By the pricking of my thumb… something wicket this way comes.” 

In this contemporary examination of Shakespeare’s seminal play we explore the relationship between human beings and the natural world through the lens of folk horror. Drawing on rich inspiration from artists such as Ari Aster Robin Eggers and Robin Hardy as well as pagan traditions embedded in Shakespeare’s text we will create a world of the uncanny where our perception and our reality become blurred. Created in partnership with the ensemble the production explodes notions of gender power ambition and human significance in the face of a larger mystery.
