About this show
This is not the Macbeth you know; he might be your neighbour. In this modern absurdist adaptation, Macbeth is no longer a character; he embodies the human condition. A Macbeth who kills for power, seeks escape in potions and chooses his mother's early death. Lady Macbeth is clearer-headed but unable to flee. In a collision between gritty realism and surreal distortion, and between classical tragedy and modern absurdity, three pairs of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth mutate across time and space. Two actors. Six souls. Fifty minutes. How do they descend into a midsummer nightmare?
