One couple’s ruthless quest for power turns nature upside down as Shakespeare’s bloody tragedy Macbeth consumes the Globe Theatre in a ‘powerful… striking’ ★★★★ (The Guardian) production.

On his return from war, three strange men offer Macbeth the prospect of ultimate control. Desperate for a new future, he and his wife set out to make it a reality with devastating costs.

Following 2022’s ‘mesmerising’ ★★★★★ (WhatsOnStage) The Merchant of Venice in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Director Abigail Graham debuts in the Globe Theatre with Shakespeare’s epic tale, exploring the impact and exploitation of unexpressed grief.

‘Stars, hide your fires. Let not light see my black and deep desires’

– Act I, scene 4
