Macbeth
April 2018
Set in corporate 1980’s, the heyday of excess, ambition and greed. The time of Grace Jones, Margaret Thatcher and other powerful women on the rise. This production saw Macbeth fight for the control of her company, rather than the crown of Scotland, and kill off boorish men in the process. The themes of this show, while iconic for the new setting, resonate within our current culture of female empowerment and gender and sexual equality.
So, imagine Dynasty, but with murder and lesbianism…
