Macbeth in the Dark

Macbeth in the Dark: a radio play version of Shakespeare’s great psychological tragedy Macbeth, a perfect play for our infected world.

This ambitious project brings together a cast of 10 actors playing over 25 different characters, original music, and sound engineering by Dom Guilfoyle under the direction of Kate Wilson, to create a disturbing and unforgettable portrayal of the destructive power of human ambition.

With the title playing on both the technical term for a theatre that isn’t open and the play’s dark themes, you’re encouraged to listen by candlelight, in low lighting, or (if you’re really game!) in the dark.

Macbeth in the Dark is a full length production with a running time of 120 minutes. We believe in making theatre accessible, especially during what is a challenging time for many. As such, we have chosen to release this on a pay-what-you-can basis. We invite you to consider what you could or would spend on an evening out.
