MACBETH MEDIA RELEASE

“Something wicked this way comes”Act IV, Sc 1

Essential Theatre proudly celebrates thirteenyears on the road with Shakespeare in the Vines. Artistic Directors, Sophie Lampel and Amanda LaBonte feel there is no better way to honour this milestone than by tackling this wonderful and challenging work from the Bard.

Macbeth is undoubtedly one of Shakespeare’s most powerful and popular works and Essential Theatre is excited to be performing this in the grounds of this fabulous winery.

Tempted by the prophecies of three mysterious witches, Macbeth’s ambition to be King of Scotland leads him into a nightmarish world of evil, deceit, and murder.

This classic tale of power, superstition and madness will be like nothing audiences have seen from Essential Theatre.

In a time where people are hooked on Game of Thrones and House of Cards - where ambition drives decisions at any cost, Essential Theatre take it back to where it all began. Macbeth will be raw, edgy and entertaining.

As the sun sets, the dark night approaches and the witches come out to play let yourself be taken on this tremendous journey.
