Macbeth

Tickets £17.50
Friday 2pm matinee £10
Join us in the stunning surroundings of Worcester Cathedral as one of Shakespeare's best-loved tragedies Macbeth is brought to life by Worcester Repertory Company.
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most well-known tragedies following the lead character on his quest to become, and remain, king of Scotland. With the help of three future-seeing witches, Macbeth gains his kingship through the murder and betrayal of King Duncan and many other potential heirs to the throne. As word spreads of Macbeth's regicide, King Duncan's son Prince Malcolm gathers an army to challenge Macbeth's forces. Frightened, Macbeth visits the three witches to learn more about his future. They tell him of seemingly impossible things that ease Macbeth's fears; however when they result in being true Macbeth's life comes to a tragic end.
Love, loss, murder and betrayal are all key focuses in this tragic play and with the dramatic setting of the Cathedral it is sure to have the makings of a powerful evening of drama and entertainment.
