Experience Shakespeare’s gripping tragedy live at the British School in the Netherlands.

“What’s done cannot be undone”

On the eve of victory, a heroic general is promised a glorious future by three mysterious apparitions… but real or not, Macbeth’s ruthless ambition, fuelled by his wife’s chilling thirst for power, begins a chain of events that will destroy everyone who stands in their way.

Macbeth has enthralled audiences for over 400 years; now, for the first time, the award-winning Guildford Shakespeare Company brings Shakespeare’s super-charged thriller to your doorstep in this specially adapted touring production for village halls.

Guildford Shakespeare Company ABOUT GUILDFORD SHAKESPEARE COMPANY

Established in 2006, Guildford Shakespeare Company is one of Surrey’s best-loved and largest producing theatre companies. Its aim is to re-invigorate the act of theatregoing, break down barriers and prove that everyone can access and enjoy the works of William Shakespeare.

As part of our commitment to sharing the magic of theatre with our communities, we are taking our shows to villages to provide access to professional theatre in rural areas.

In an echo of Shakespeare's own practices, our four professional actors and stage manager will travel to your venue and set up the stage and all technical equipment. This production is designed for visiting community spaces and therefore will not be our large-scale production.
