Synopsis

A play written for a King (James I of England) about a man unfit for kingship.

William Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth has all the ingredients of a summer blockbuster: a war veteran gone rogue, a love story gone bad, pyrotechnics, political assassination, blood soaked horror, psychological disturbance, carnage and massacre. Throw in the Supernatural and the stage is set for an epic battle between the forces for good and evil.

Macbeth Unpacked explores the ideas contained within Macbeth: ambition, what it is to be a man, the nature of tyranny, the nature of evil, toxic relationships, truth, lies, the spin of equivocation and the rendition of the single state of man: mind, body and soul, broken on the back of the fault line of all consuming ambition.

Macbeth Unpacked is suitable for GCSE and Advanced Level students, and those who wish to extend their understanding of one of Shakespeare's best known works.
