A struggling and divided nation, tearing itself apart. So, when the Macbeths see their chance at the crown, why shouldn't they take it?
This production of Macbeth offers a visceral and contemporary interpretation that resonates deeply with the challenges of our modern world. It invites audiences to reflect on why Macbeth has haunted our fears and nightmares for centuries and to consider the urgent lessons this timeless cautionary tale still seeks to impart.
Macbeth will play at the Lyric Hammersmith from 28 February - 29 March 2025.
