Tobacco Factory Theatres kicks off its very first Factory Company season with Adele Thomas’s production of Macbeth.
For this groundbreaking season of
dynamic work (Macbeth will be followed by TFT’s artistic director Mike Tweddle directing Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge), Tobacco Factory Theatres will become home to its own
ensemble of incredible actors. The season will also incorporate a series
of events connecting the productions with our local community, artists
and audiences.
“Macbeth speaks to a world we find ourselves living in now; a world in which politicians lie to our faces but no one can plaster over the truth that the planet is threatening to turn on us.
“Exposing the fragility of the human notions of language and destiny, Macbeth conjures something bloody and primal. Battling elemental forces and their own blind ambition, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are at odds with the natural world, haunted by three unearthly witches and inspired to commit terrible, unnatural acts. Their quest for power for power’s sake leads their bodies and minds to turn against them.”

7.30pm (Tue 27 7pm) plus Thur & Sat 2pm, £12 upwards. Ages 12+.
