Xiqu Centre, West Kowloon Cultural District | The 2nd Hong Kong International Shakespeare Festival: MACBETH solo (The UK)

Description

A MIND DISEASED 

MACBETH solo is a distilled original language version of Shakespeare's Macbeth for one actor, brought to Hong Kong by award winning theatre company The Shakespeare Edit.

Performed by Artistic Director Paul Goodwin, and created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Dmytro Saratskyi, this 60-minute monodrama is a thrilling psychological portrait of Macbeth's descent into madness, bringing Shakespeare's great poetic tragedy fully alive for contemporary audiences.

"Every voice we hear and every figure who "appears" is refracted through Macbeth's mind. His world shrinks until no one else matters." - Aspects of History (London)

Previously seen in London, Riga, York, Verona, Mumbai, Prague and at the United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC where the production won the award for Best International Show.
