MACBETH
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Angela Witcher
“Bring forth men-children only;
For thy undaunted mettle should compose
Nothing but males.”
Nov 11th – 27th, 2022 | Fringe Brisbane Hub, South Brisbane
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Power hungry warrior and Machiavellian murderess or grief-stricken parents with a painful void to fill?
Returning home from a bloody but victorious battle, Macbeth is met by the Weird Sisters who foretell that he will become King of Scotland. Emboldened by this prediction, the Macbeths take fate into their own hands, murder King Duncan and take the crown.
But the crown sits uneasily and their initial act of ambition and unquenchable desire for power set off a catastrophic series of events that once in motion, cannot be stopped.
Don’t miss out on the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble’s first ever staged production of this dark psychological thriller!
