About the show
Macbeth – Directed by Alec Gilbert
The location is Sunshine, in Melbourne’s Western Suburbs. The year is 1973. We’re in a graffitied railway underpass where skinheads live rough, and the violent culture of the street reigns supreme. One man’s ambitions to rule are fuelled by visions, and voices, and his partner’s lust for power.
Such is the strength of William Shakespeare’s language that the tragic tale of Macbeth still resonates with audiences today. The beauty of his prose, the psychological struggles of his characters, and the urgency of this story, speak directly to a new generation.
