In this classic tale of greed and guilt, Flabbergast's Macbeth fuses a rigorous and respectful approach to text and storytelling to bring a magical, lucid interpretation of Shakespeare's blood-soaked tragedy to life.
Playing to their strengths and background in puppetry, clown, mask, ensemble and physical theatre, Flabbergast have developed their first narrative text based production. They present the bard's original text accompanied by and supported with exhilarating live music to produce a provocative and enjoyably accessible show.
The beautifully performed music and vocal work combine into a powerful live soundscape creating an atmosphere that both compliments and juxtaposes the action. With a stripped back set, and an aesthetically arresting design, the tightknit ensemble of actors performs a dark and visceral manifestation of the work's essence and underlaying themes.
Flabbergast gives us an instinctive interpretation of Shakespeare's most wretched tragedy, working to draw out the parallels with modern society. At its heart, the dominant recurring theme and fundamental narrative that powers The Tragedy of Macbeth is the masculine fear of feminine power; and in this sense, the play is as pertinent today as it has ever been.
A performance for both new and established theatregoers to enjoy, Flabbergast's Shakespeare is for everyone, a visceral and eloquent retelling of Shakespeare's imbrued tale of vicissitude.
