Setting the record straight?
Critics of Shakespeare's wholesale defamation of the fiery Macbeth beware!
Now, at last, is a new play, based on new facts about the life of the much maligned Scottish king.
Deborah McAndrew's King Macbeth paints a compelling portrait of a gifted and charismatic young man, blown by the winds of birth, grief and love to the brink of power. Using a haunting blend of music, prose and verse, McAndrew discovers passion, violence and surprising tenderness in 11th Century Scotland.
The reputation of a great man is restored... or is it?
