The Duke's Theatre Company's production of Macbeth offers a dynamic reimagining of Shakespeares classic tragedy. Known for their bold and innovative interpretations, the company brings a contemporary edge to the dark tale of ambition, murder, and madness.
Director Robert Shaw Cameron ( Coronation Street, Regents Park Open Air Theatre, Sheffield Crucible ) and designer Jessica Curtis ( Hampstead Theatre, Almeida Theatre, Royal National Theatre ) make a production with a cast of six industry leading actors.
With a strong focus on the psychological unravelling of the protagonists, this adaptation takes The Dukes into a new era of open-air Summer touring.
