National Theatre Macbeth: Theatre Royal

The stage will be set for a showing of Macbeth from the 13th to the 17th of November 2018 at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle. Set in the ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war. Ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are thrust towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.

The National Theatre, creators of War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, bring an epic and visually daring production of Shakespeare's most intense tragedy on a tour of the UK and Ireland immediately following a sold out run in London.

Directed by National Theatre artistic director Rufus Norris (Cabaret, London Road) and designed by Rae Smith (War Horse, This House) this new produciton propels Shakespeare's classic title into a post-apocalyptic world of anarchy and uncertainty.
