Sean O’Shea and Linda Cropper play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in Bell Shakespeare’s production coming to the Drum Theatre next month.BELL Shakespeare’s Macbeth is coming to Dandenong’s Drum Theatre on Wednesday, 2 May at 8pm.
The production is a metaphysical tale of ambiguity, shape-shifting and things not as they seem.
Director John Bell strips back Shakespeare’s most haunting thriller to its core and asks, from where does the evil within come?
Driven by an insatiable hunger for power, posterity and certainty, Macbeth and his wife commit a murder and set in motion the inevitable unravelling of their own humanity.
With blood on their hands, they face the dire consequences of the natural order disturbed. And the questions demand an answer.
The horror of Macbeth is in his deliberate overturning of the natural laws of duty, hospitality and mercy.
His torment is in his realisation that he is destroying himself. His grandeur is his determination to both know and control the future, whatever the cost.
Sean O’Shea and Linda Cropper play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, arguably Shakespeare’s most happily married couple, in this new production of his masterpiece.
A terrifying portrayal of moral collapse, Bell Shakespeare’s Macbeth will take the audience on an intense and compelling journey.
Book at The Drum box office on 9771 6666.
