Macbeth is a haunting tale of regicide, murder, witchcraft, demons and spirits. Unrelenting in its pace, violence and supernatural themes, it is regarded by many critics as Shakespeare's darkest tragedy. Director Garreth Bradshaw (WAYTCO's Life of Galileo, Upstart Theatre Company's Taming of the Shrew) says "I have no interest in creating a mediocre Macbeth. I want my audience to walk away having been truly frightened, shocked and deeply moved by the text...".
His production will draw inspiration from masters of modern cinema, such as Tarantino, Polanski, Hitchcock, Argento and Kurosawa, and theatrical styles and traditions such as the Grand Guignol, Theatre of Catastrophe and original Elizabethan practices. Bradshaw is exploiting the unique potential of the New Fortune, the southern hemisphere's only replica Elizabethan theatre.
