Macbeth • Jack Studio Theatre

Macbeth

by William Shakespeare

reimagined by Vince Mathews and Liz Love

presented by V&L Productions

In the not-so-distant future, mankind has risen from the ashes of an apocalypse. In the great reset, come power struggles to establish a new hierarchy.

Macbeth’s rise to the top is foretold by three strange women, a fortune-telling which rapidly starts to become true. But once at the top, he must fight to remain there.

How much will it cost him and who, or what, is pulling the strings?

‘Foul is fair and fair is foul’ and anything can happen in a world where everything has been lost.

Shakespeare’s classic tale of succession, power and the supernatural has been re-imagined in this fast-paced adaptation by V&L Productions.

V&L Productions are a new theatre company producing fringe shows in fantastic venues. The team have a genuine love for intimate theatre and using the space to connect with, challenge and sometimes unhinge the audience. V&L look for projects which differ from their previous work and create new challenges with each show they perform.
