MARK Bruce Company will tour their haunting new dance re-imagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth in 2018.
With direction and choreography by visionary artistic director Mark Bruce, a cast of nine outstanding performers and dramatic design by the same creative team behind Dracula and The Odyssey, Macbeth will realise a beautifully harrowing vision of an internal wasteland formed from the pursuit of power through ruthless means.
Drama, dance and film audiences will be drawn to Bruce’s imaginative vision of the treacherous Macbeths’ toxic world of jealousy, ambition and corruption. It is set in a supernatural and brutal underworld with a horror film atmosphere of menace and murder.
Mark Bruce said: “The Macbeths are mere playthings of the evil they set free, and in the madness and emptiness they become but walking shadows, or, as in my adaptation, simply clowns of sound and fury.”
Macbeth is at Theatre Royal Winchester on January 31 and February 1. See theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840440.
