Award winning theatre company The Shakespeare Edit presents MACBETH (solo)
a distilled version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth for one actor. This thrilling monodrama
has played to sold out venues in Italy, Latvia, York (International Shakespeare
Festival), Bulgaria, London and at United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC where it won
Best International Show. Performed by Artistic Director Paul Goodwin, and created
in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Dmitriy Saratsky, this dramatic monologue
is storytelling at its best; with psychological depth, superb verse speaking, dynamic
physicality and a brilliant soundscape bringing Shakespeare’s tale of ambition,
murder and madness fully alive for contemporary audiences. Running time 55
minutes without an interval.
“Astonishing performance…condenses and
crystallises the tragedy of Macbeth into a non-stop stream of
consciousness roller coaster… utterly compelling”
