Kings Theatre Co-produces National Shakespeare Tour
| Author: Katie Powell | Published: 12th July 2011 21:58 |
Unrivalled on the battlefield, Macbeth is rewarded with rank and favour by a grateful king. But with each enemy Macbeth butchers to serve his own vaulting ambition, his lust for power takes a more menacing grip until, driven to distraction by greed, he ferociously seizes the throne. But, violence breeds violence, and a reign born in blood quickly spirals out of control as Macbeth's deeds return to destroy him.
The vicious, barbaric undercurrent in Shakespeare's epic tragedy erupts in this kinetic, blood-thirsty production that goes straight for the jugular. Blending the original verse with live music played by the actors and evocative gothic design, this slick new version is perfect for audiences new to Macbeth and those already well acquainted with Shakespeare's tragedy.
