Macbeth

Critically-acclaimed VOLTA THEATRE COMPANY returns to Smock Alley with a new production of Shakespeare’s gripping tale of murder, totalitarianism and how a person loses their soul, directed by IFTA-nominated director and screenwriter Norah McGettigan.

Set in a politically unstable world, where witchcraft and superstition chip away at the status quo, a man temperamentally unsuited to kingship seizes the crown by violent means. Corrupted by absolute power, he becomes vengeful, paranoid and completely unhinged in his bid to establish a dynasty bloodline.

Shakespeare’s timeless story about the horrors that lie in wait beyond societal breakdown has non- stop action, suspense, terror, and some of the mightiest language ever penned.
