Fear Thy Nature

In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we are tackling Shakespeare’s most‑gripping tragedy, Macbeth.

Reborn into a ruthless world of rolling news, political theatre and weaponised ambition, this razor-sharp new production from the creative team behind 1984, A Christmas Carol, Frankenstein and Jane Eyre, charts the course of a rising war hero who becomes the media’s latest obsession and, pushed by a partner as polished as she is dangerous, turns the 24-hour news cycle into his personal battleground.

This is Macbeth, as written by Shakespeare, reimagined at scale, for our age of clickbait and catastrophe: a dark, seductive, ratings-driven descent where perception is everything, loyalty is currency, and one couple’s hunger for the top spot threatens to bring their whole empire crashing down.
