MACBETH (solo) at Old Red Lion Theatre

Shakespeare's great poetic tragedy, distilled into a thrilling monodrama that charts Macbeth's psychological and moral disintegration. The Shakespeare Edit's production of MACBETH (solo) has played to sold out audiences at the Verona Shakespeare Festival Fringe, York International Shakespeare Festival, Petrovden Shakespeare Company (Bulgaria), SaFest Udine (Italy), in Riga in collaboration with British Council Latvia, and at United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC winning the award for Best International Show. Performed by Artistic Director Paul Goodwin, and created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Dmitriy Saratsky, this 60 minute dramatic monologue combines a rigorous approach to language and the spoken word, with a dynamic physicality and brilliant soundscape, bringing Shakespeare’s tale of ambition, murder and madness fully alive for contemporary audiences. “Condenses and crystallises the tragedy of Macbeth into a non-stop stream of consciousness roller coaster... utterly compelling” LondonTheatre1
