After a sell-out run in 2018 at The Martin Harris Centre, award-winning 1623 Theatre Company returns with their 60-minute adaptation of Macbeth. Back by popular demand, Macbeth: Toil and Trouble focuses upon the central relationship within the story, charting the journey of Shakespeare's infamous duo from the initial prophecy that Macbeth will become King, until their untimely demise.

This fast-paced adaptation is sure to thrill audiences young and old alike as woven together by the three weird sisters; it explores the Macbeths' relentless quest for power and the price they pay for undertaking such a deadly pursuit.

This performance has been designed specifically for school groups and compliments the requirements for the GCSE English Literature programme of study.

Following the performances, 1623 are offering bespoke practical drama workshops to further explore the central themes and moments from the piece.

Further information: o This production is recommended for ages 11+ o A 10% discount is available for all group bookings. o 1 free adult supervisor ticket is available for every 10 paying students o A FREE Teacher’s Resource pack is available for this performance.

Price: £10 (full) / £5 (under 16)
