About Macbeth

In this classic tale of greed and guilt, Flabbergast’s Macbeth fuses a rigorous and respectful approach to text and storytelling to bring a magical, lucid interpretation of Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tragedy to life. 

They present the bard’s original text accompanied by and supported with exhilarating live music creating a powerful live soundscape creating an atmosphere that both compliments and juxtaposes the action. 

A tightknit ensemble of actors performs a dark and visceral manifestation of the work’s essence and underlaying themes. 

Flabbergast gives us an instinctive interpretation of Shakespeare’s most wretched tragedy, working to draw out the parallels with modern society. At its heart, the dominant recurring theme and fundamental narrative that powers The Tragedy of Macbeth is the masculine fear of feminine power; and in this sense, the play is as pertinent today as it has ever been.
