Macbeth

"Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires."

Following their acclaimed collaboration on Medea at the National Theatre, Carrie Cracknell and Lucy Guerin create a new version of Shakespeare’s supernatural tragedy. 

When the prophecy of three witches proclaims that Macbeth is destined to become King of Scotland, he and Lady Macbeth embark upon a murderous journey of treachery, paranoia, betrayal and suicide. 

Beginning with Shakespeare’s text, powerful and unsettling choreography weaves its way throughout the story, until words falter and finally give way.
