Shakespeare’s tragic play of Macbeth is currently being performed by Murwillumbah Theatre Company (MTC) for the next couple of weeks.

‘The Scottish Play’, as the superstitious among us like to call it, is a thrilling story of ambition, trickery and a case of where do you draw the line?

When three weird sisters tell Macbeth, the Thane (or Lord) of Glamis, that he will be Thane of Cawdor and later King, he embarks on a bloody tale of destruction. With the help of his wife, will Macbeth stop at anything to become King?

This traditional production is heart-wrenching, intriguing and rich with beautiful Shakespearian language.

From the clashes of swords to the bubbling of the witches’ cauldron, this classic tragedy is embedded with taunting prophesies and malevolent manipulation.

It also has a splash of comedic relief to lighten the mood.

The passionate acting, haunting music and mysterious lighting in MTC’s production brings about a dramatic and powerful experience to everyone who dares watch the play.

Don’t miss the double, double toil and trouble. Make sure to come to our next performances at Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Saturday, March 18, Sunday, March 19, Friday, March 31, Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2.
