Description

A thoughtful, moving and passionate reimagining of Shakespeare’s most intense tragedy.

Partners of Greatness puts the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in the spotlight, while leaving the rest of the play in shadows. Follow this fierce and fearsome partnership from shared ambition to bloody hands, from guilty minds to total despair.

Following the performance there will be a post-show discussion with the Director and actors.
