Macbeth
Presented by Druid
‘Unnatural deeds do breed unnatural troubles’
In medieval Scotland, the ambitious army general Macbeth is visited by three witches who foretell his ascension to the throne.
This is the Scottish Play like you’ve never seen it before. Druid bring their visceral and uniquely Irish perspective to one of Shakespeare’s fiercest and bloodiest tragedies. Tony Award winner Garry Hynes directs a cast led by Marty Rea as Macbeth and fellow Tony Award winner Marie Mullen as Lady Macbeth, with further casting to be announced.
