International Acclaim

“This witch driven MACBETH is an undoubted success…From the moment the curtain rises the audience is
gripped by the witches’ animal noises, breathy panting and feral twitching…With its strong visual and aural images, this “Macbeth” is a haunting reminder of how accessible Shakespeare can still be to modern audiences anywhere.”
Japan Times, Tokyo

“A devastating performance…The witches were spellbinding using every sinew of their bodies as they flayed Macbeth with their tongues. Paul Flushe’s evocative score is pitched perfectly…a memorable production.”
THE OBSEERVER (Britain)
