Armed with just a suitcase, NIE's ensemble of actor/musicians tell this big, famous (and gruesome!) story in a funny and accessible way. With some help from the audience, the cast bring the story to life, unpacking an old tale with new meaning. What happens when Macbeth is tempted by power and riches? Should he go after what he truly desires? A combination of Shakespearean verse and contemporary language (and the occasional recap!) makes the original story clear and easy to follow. Punctuated effortlessly by an original soundtrack, live music and sound effects, the cast will create comedy, tragedy, fast action, and terrifying power. With minimal set (but plenty of atmosphere!) the show can introduce Shakespeare to first timers and reveal contemporary themes in a play that many know well.  Oh, and we should warn you...there's lots of death.Presented byNew International Encounter. Director Michael Judge. Design Rachana Jadhav. Music Greg Hall. Lighting Ash Day. Producer Ruth Carter-Moore. Performer Valentina Ceschi. Performer Greg Hall. Performer Abayomi Oniyide.
