A POWERFUL AND CHILLING PRODUCTION

A MIX OF WITCHCRAFT, PROPHECY AND MURDER HEADS TO HULL TRUCK THEATRE

- 

HULL Truck Theatre are excited to present Shakespeare's Macbeth, co-produced with Octagon Theatre Bolton and Derby Theatre.

In a country ravaged by war and rebellion, Macbeth sets out to become King by any means possible. Encouraged by his power-hungry wife, he sets off on a murderous course to seize the crown.

Much of Shakespeare's language is still in use today, and many of us are more familiar with some of the phrases than we might believe.

Jo Mousley who plays Lady Macbeth acknowledges that to understand the language of Shakespeare can seem daunting but insists that Shakespeare is exciting and that he gives you it all to follow right there in the writing.

"I'm not very good at sitting and reading his plays on my own, the cliché is that he wrote them to be performed and this is so true.
