Macbeth

Icarus Theatre Collective and South Hill Park Arts Centre in association with Kings Theatre Portsmouth

Something wicked this way comes… The vicious, barbaric undercurrent in Shakespeare’s epic tragedy surfaces in this kinetic, blood-thirsty production. Victorious on the battlefield, Macbeth’s nobility and bravery are rewarded by an indebted king. But with each enemy slaughtered to serve Macbeth’s own vaulting ambition, his lust for power takes a deadly turn until he ferociously usurps the kingdom. His reign, baptised in blood, spirals out of control and Macbeth's deeds come back to tear him down.

Selected to open the 2012 Shakespeare Fest, The Globe, Germany.
