About

Ben Crystal returns to Shakespeare North with a fast-paced, spooky, blood-spattered staging of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

A dagger. A crown. The original text. One musician. Ten storytellers. Fifty candles. Ninety breathless minutes. Audiences step into the shadows as the scorpions in Macbeth’s mind strike, watching a world turn inside-out beneath a tyrant’s rule. The Tragedie of Macbeth is ambition-driven, greed-flecked, grief-filled, revenge-fuelled, ghost-haunted… and absolutely cursed.
