Macbeths

This is a story of love.

And wanting the best for your family.

In the safety of the bedroom, a couple are at their most exposed and vulnerable. You are invited to sit, invisible, in the midst of this intimate space, to voyeuristically observe a relationship you may think you already know… but what happens behind the bedroom door? Enter. Watch them, through a more focussed - or more distorted - lens.

As their tight knit partnership spirals increasingly out of control, passion and obsession collide with devastating momentum. Thumbs are pricked and wicked things come, but the demons that hide under the skin, that run through the heart-blood, are far more destructive - and much more difficult to exorcise - than mere witches.

To what lengths do you go to achieve success for yourself, your partner, your blood? How do you hold onto your sense of self? Where do they stop and where do you begin?

Using only Shakespeare's original text, David Fairs re-orchestrates Macbeth into Macbeths - a retelling solely from the point of view of Thane and Lady Macbeth, which audiences are finding innovative, surprising and deeply engaging.

Holding each other together can be the same as tearing each other apart.
