A nation will fall. Allegiances are destroyed. Nothing is as it seems and no-one can be trusted. Blood will have blood.

Macbeth is destined for the throne but a twist of fate sees the honour fall to another. The choice to accept what is given or take action to right the course lies in the balance. Do you do what is right or get what you deserve?

Shakespeare's psychological thriller of ambition, manipulation and the thirst for power is re-imagined in a dystopian future where betrayal is lethal.

Friday 20 April 6pm, Monday 23 April 2pm and Tuesday 24 April 7pm only
