Macbeth
"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes"
-
Every evening (except Sunday) at 7.30pm
King’s College Gardens
(entrance via Queen's Road only)
As “light thickens” and darkness falls, the atmospheric and breath-taking backdrop of King’s College Fellows’ garden provides the perfect setting for Shakespeare’s powerful exploration of murder, prophecy and ambition, in a world steeped in power-mongering, sorcery and war. An unexpected prophecy sends Scottish general Macbeth on a feverish and murderous quest to become king. Spurred on by his ruthless wife, all must fall before them. Don’t miss this dynamic and bloody production!
No knee-bending to trendy revisionism, but rather a tour-de-force of Elizabethan drama
