"Nothing is but what is not"
The aftermath of a bloody and crude war: a lone woman curses and chants to herself, two soldiers return, the King promotes the loyal and a Lady receives a letter.
From there Scotland falls.
Shakespeare's most bloody and hypnotic play closes out Montague Basement's 2016 season with an unfiltered journey into the troubled Thane's imagination. This a Macbeth of deeds without names, horrible imaginings and walking shadows. A violent journey towards that most hideous and unknown of destinations: the hereafter.
Directed and Designed by Saro Lusty-Cavallari
Produced by Imogen Gardam
With Travis Ash, Robert Boddington, Hannah Cox, Alex Francis, Barret Griffin, Lulu Howes, and Jem Rowe.
"thrilling and imaginative"
"...an unforgiving take on one of Shakespeare’s most bloody plays."
"Lusty-Cavallari has turned the traditional framework of this classic play on its side, offering up a raw and visually stunning performance that might finally cure your fear of ye olde theatre."
"This young, new and quirky take on an old classic is artistic and aesthetically done."
