MACBETH
Shakespeare Canada proudly presents:
William Shakespeare’s
Macbeth
After taking audiences on an moving journey back to ancient Rome with last year’s production of Titus Andronicus, the M.S.T.C. invites you back to the time of medieval Scotland for Shakespeare’s passionate story of desire and ambition. Sorcery and battle surround this classic tale of a man coming to grips with his own inhumanity.
A warlord unrivalled on the battlefield, Macbeth is rewarded with rank and favour by a grateful king. But with each enemy butchered in his master's defence, Macbeth's own desire for the crown grows until, driven to distraction by greed, he ferociously seizes the throne. But, violence breeds violence, and a reign born in blood quickly spirals out of control as Macbeth's actions return to destroy him.
Plunging us into a nightmare world of eternal darkness and terror, Shakespeare’s gripping drama of raw human emotion blurs fantasy and reality in this intense production in the round.
Blood will have blood...
