Macbeth - Icarus Theatre Collective

Wednesday 16 November
19.30 The Tragedy of Macbeth, Icarus Theatre Collective, Fresh from the Edinburgh Festival
Something wicked this way comes... 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.
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.
'A remarkably high-octane Macbeth - Icarus Theatre Collective ensures that their version of Macbeth is as action packed as it is exhilarating to watch. With sword, axe, spear and bare fist fighting it is an impressively energetic and dynamic production. This Macbeth is a dusky affair with some striking performances, don't miss it.'
