WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT OUR ADAPTATION OF MACBETH?
In Macbeth Undone, the story delves into the unexplored psyche of Lady Macbeth, long after her death and Macbeth's fall. Held in a supernatural purgatory, she reflects on the events that led to her downfall, offering new insights into her ambition, relationship with Macbeth, and descent into madness. Through a blend of Shakespearean language and contemporary interpretation, this production re-examines her manipulation by the supernatural and the toxic dynamics between her and Macbeth.
A must see adaptation of Macbeth!
As Lady Macbeth relives key moments from her life, her narrative uncovers the psychological and moral complexities of her character. This Faustian retelling invites students to explore major themes like power, guilt, madness, and the supernatural, while addressing critical questions: What drove her obsession with power? How did her relationship with Macbeth contribute to her undoing? And what role did the supernatural play in her fate?
Designed to engage English curricula, Macbeth Undone challenges students to think critically about Shakespeare's original text while considering the timeless human struggles that resonate through his work.
