Synopsis:   

 

A tale of love, murder, betrayal and deceit, Macbeth explores how powerful human emotions, when carefully manipulated, can lead us to perform unfathomable deeds. His descent into murder and betrayal is the tale of how ambition can tarnish even the purest of souls.  Macbeth chillingly displays the effect our desires and deeds can have on our lives and on the lives of those we love

 

 

 

All roles require extremely strong actors who have an excellent command of language and physical awareness (There will be fight choreography). All roles are open to any ethnicity.
