Calling all English GCSE students, teachers
and literature lovers!

Dickens Theatre Company proudly presents
Macbeth, Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedy, arriving at South Mill Arts in January 2027.

In this inventive adaptation, Shakespeare’s Chorus becomes our narrator, guiding audiences through the tangled web of ambition, betrayal and dark prophecy with engaging modern verse. Performed by an ensemble of just six actors, this fast-paced, text-faithful production brings the Scottish Play vividly to life through dynamic multi-roling performance.

Set against a backdrop of war, witchery and
treason, Macbeth remains chillingly relevant in the 21st century.

“What’s done cannot be undone!”

All matinee performances also include the
option to stay for a free 20-minute post-show Q&A with the cast and
director, a hugely popular addition for school groups, giving students the
chance to ask questions, deepen their understanding of the text and explore the
production further.

Run time: 1 hour 40 minutes (including
interval). Allow an extra 20 minutes if you’re staying for the post show
Q&A.
