Setting the record straight?
Critics of Shakespeare's wholesale defamation of the fiery Macbeth beware!
Now, at last, is a new play, based on new facts about the life of the much maligned Scottish king.
Deborah McAndrew's King Macbeth paints a compelling portrait of a gifted and charismatic young man, blown by the winds of birth, grief and love to the brink of power.
Using a haunting blend of music, prose and verse, McAndrew discovers passion, violence and surprising tenderness in 11th Century Scotland.
The reputation of a great man is restored... or is it?
Educational Package available.
Deborah’s writing credits include an adaptation of The Bells and Vacuum for Northern Broadsides, both directed by Conrad Nelson,
Flamingoland at the New Vic, Staffordshire, directed by Gwenda Hughes and Oliver Twist at Bolton Octagon.
