Macbeth
Open Air at Royal William Yard Plymouth
31 Jul - 11 Aug 2pm & 7pm
'Something wicked this way comes…'
Macbeth is a good man, a courageous war hero, respected and loyal. He recognises an opportunity for advancement, he is talented, ambitious....and his wife even more so. But what lengths will he go to secure his power and what will he do with this power?
‘Cruel are the times’
Set in a war torn country Macbeth is a powerful metaphor for our times. This is a breath-taking and bloody story of ambition, treachery, power and guilt.
This is a highly visual, energised and accessible re-telling of the classic Shakespeare play, using the extraordinary skills of local professional actors and emerging artists.
Macbeth is the fourth production in our popular annual ’Bard in the Yard’ programme, running outdoors at the extraordinary Royal William Yard site, following our hugely successful previous productions A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2015), Romeo & Juliet (2016) and Twelfth Night (2017). The production is part of Barbican Theatre’s commitment to creating high quality, accessible work while supporting and developing local talent.
Seating is not allocated for this performance. Audiences are advised to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the show to allow for time to take their seats before the performance begins.
Doors to the venue open 1 hour before performances begin. There will be a box office at the entrance to the garden for collection of pre-booked tickets, and for purchase of tickets on the door (subject to availability).
In the event of wet weather making us unable to perform outdoors, performances of Macbeth will be moved to The Plymouth Athenaeum (Derry’s Cross, Plymouth PL1 2SW) Audiences will be informed of the change of venue by telephone and/or email, so it is vital at time of booking that you supply this information so we can contact you.
Please note that ticket prices listed are inclusive of all Booking Fees and Charges.
