Macbeth

Written by Garth McConaghie and Stuart Harvey

The Drill Hall, London

28th – 29th October 2011

I DARE DO ALL THAT MAY BECOME A MAN’

Could one young man rule the world if he only ruled the mob?

YMT brings together 40 of the UK’s most talented young performers for a bold re-imagining of Shakespeare’s MACBETH. In the year when London burned, young people ask: what is it to live in a world where violence equals power and people have nothing to lose?

This is a rapid-response creation made in the two weeks after the recent English riots, using the adult themes and emotions within the play. Visceral and violent; a fusion of movement, live electro-acoustic instrumental music and Shakespeare’s classic text. This is a work-in-progress performance of MACBETH for a new generation.

MACBETH is a major project and the initial rehearsal period in August will conclude wth a work-in-progress production at the Drill Hall in London on 28 & 29 October.
