Macbeth

Adapted & Directed by Ryan Philpott  Music by Paul Higgs   

Dickens Theatre Company present the Bard’s bloodiest tragedy!   This fresh new adaptation of the ‘Scottish Play’ arrives back in the Swindon Arts Centre in April 2025. With the infamous Porter acting as narrator, an ensemble of 6 actors create a cauldron of characters, as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth make their perilous descent towards Hell.  Set against a back-drop of wars, witchery and treasonous plotting, Shakespeare’s ambitious Macbeth remains ominously relevant in the 21st Century.  “What’s done cannot be undone!” 

Dickens Theatre Company has been successfully staging classic English literature texts for the UK stage since 2015.  As part of DTC’s ‘Revision on Tour’ (alongside Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde), this Macbeth entertains and educates...to the bitter end.
