When three witches tell Macbeth that he is destined to occupy the throne of Scotland, he and his wife choose to become
the instruments of their fate and to kill the first man standing in their path, the virtuous King Duncan. But to maintain his
position, Macbeth must keep on killing – first Banquo, his old comrade-in-arms; then, as the atmosphere of guilt and
paranoia thickens, anyone who seems to threaten his tyrant’s crown.
From its mesmerising first moments to the last fulfilment of the witches' prophecy, Shakespeare’s gripping account of the
profoundest engagement with the forces of evil enthrals the imagination.
This production employs Renaissance costumes and staging.

What the press said:
‘‘Eve Best's directorial debut is a cracking – at times, terrifying – production of Macbeth.’’ The Evening Standard
‘‘Joseph
Millson…He captures Macbeth’s psychological unravelling, and is at his strongest in his moments of quiet
introspection rather than when prowling the stage wildly.’’ The Observer
