Cultural Partner CTC Theatre present an innovative and daring take on Macbeth. Aimed at 11 to 16 year olds, the production is a fantastic introduction to Shakespeare.

Performed in the round, the play puts the audience claustrophobically close to the action, making each viewer complicit in the horrors that unfold.  As the audience enters, conflicting news reports blare out and internet screens glare with misinformation. The witches in this world are journalists, weaving a tale of spin and trickery, scouring newspaper headlines for rumour, passing gossip amongst us as we take our seats.
This production presents a world turned upside down by media influence, where all of us are at the mercy of rumour and deceit. A world where - even in our most personal moments - we are watched and judged.

To book a performance of Macbeth in your school between 2 and 27 March 2009, telephone 01325 352 004.
