Macbeth - 2025 - 7/10

“Fair is foul, and foul is fair.”
Macbeth the Thane, aspires to the throne via blood, urged by his dominating wife.
Austere version of Shakespeare’s darkest play may not appeal to all tastes.
Minimal set design, however, serves to enhance the words.
Language, dialogue and monologue, is paramount, forcing viewers to flesh proceedings themselves.
Powerful play of ambition and treachery, of deceptive promises and muddled prophecy.
Inspired use of small folk ensemble offering sparse music.
“Cruel are the times when we are traitors and do not know ourselves.”
