Macbeth

Description

If MACBETH is not the best play ever written, it is certainly one of the most performed. Shakespeare's tragedy explores the corruption of power and its terrifying consequences, both politically and personally. But while the themes are profound and complex, the form is extremely entertaining: it is a thriller, a war story, a romance, a nightmare, a horror story, and an extremely impressive portrayal of the supernatural. The witches hover over this play as demons and restorers of the natural order, attempting to destroy Macbeth and his murderous lady. The evil unleashed by the royal couple falls back upon them. Through Shakespeare's unparalleled poetry, the audience witnesses the collapse of naked ambition into tortured self-doubt and ultimate madness.
The production by Paul Stebbings was the first Shakespeare production of the TNT Ensemble. The performance was so successful that it has been continuously revived since 2001 and has been seen in over forty countries on four continents. It is likely the most performed production of MACBETH in this century. WITH the Ensemble American Drama Group
