William Shakespeare's

SPJ2024_2025_Titles_V1__MACBETH.png

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
DIRECTED BY GEORGE BANDERS

“What's done cannot be undone”

An unexpected prophecy at the close of a devastating war sends a national hero and his brilliant wife on a feverish and murderous quest for absolute power. With startlingly beautiful language, Shakespeare’s revered tragedy tears open the thin fabric between the temporal and magical worlds. This muscular, contemporary production looks at today’s world through Macbeth’s eyes – an epoch where double speak is rife, where violence is a modern ecstasy and true loyalty is our most valuable commodity.

Shakespeare combines Scottish and English history with Greek myth to one simple end – to  capture what it is to be human. What happens to us when we sacrifice our humanity to get ahead? We live in such a time, an unprecedented era that idolises fame and celebrity above leadership and morality. In such a time and place, perhaps even nature begins to fight back.


A boldly imaginative, fully contemporary and brand new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth from Sport For Jove that is true to the text and full of engaging revelations, a wonderful experience for students and teachers.

Macbeth Top Shots Online-7457_edited.jpg

“Ryan’s Macbeth displays a masterful progression of character, a meditation on the nature of evil that is all the more profound – and fearful – for its perspective: evil from the inside. A nuanced, emotionally sensitive Macbeth.”
