A deconstruction of Shakespeare’s tragedy from the perspective of the sleepless descent into madness. An ensemble performance. In an empty space (give me any empty space and I can make it a bare stage – thank you, Peter Brook), where Macbeth is approached as Shakespeare Our Contemporary (thank you, Jan Kott), through the prism of The Theatre of the Absurd (thank you, Samuel Beckett).

At HB I was able to…explore the importance of using what’s already inside to bring it to the work on stage.
