The Story of Macbeth

 

Age group: 8 years and above

Duration of the performance: 70 minutes

In English

 

Andy Cannon, one of Scotland's finest storytellers, takes audiences on a thousand-year journey in his telling of Shakespeare's classic tale. The Story of Macbeth explores the paths between fact and fiction, myths and truths.

 

With a compact set and original music, the actor communicates directly with the audience, drawing them into the story. Cleverly weaving Shakespeare’s original language with his own storytelling style, the actor creates a performance where parents are as captivated, challenged and intrigued as much as the children sitting next to them.

 

The play is a perfect introduction for newcomers to this tale, and a fresh take on it for Shakespeare aficionados.
