This timeless story of witchcraft, murder, totalitarianism, and how a man becomes a monster is brought to the NOH and Smock Alley by Volta, Ireland’s most exciting new Shakespearean theatre company.
In a brutal society where power is concentrated in the hands of warlords known as Thanes, order is maintained through unwavering devotion to the King. Away from the clans and the heavily fortified strongholds of the Thanes, satanic cults and strange rituals undermine the feudal order.
Macbeth is a war hero, disturbed, in his hour of success, by a prophecy that he will one day be ruler. Goaded by his ambitious wife into an act that goes against his deepest instincts of loyalty, he unleashes a cycle of violence that plunges the country into terror and dictatorship.
