Macbeth Retold Synopsis:
Macbeth Retold is an exciting, reimagined telling of the Shakespeare story written by Martin Riley. Aimed at people from age 14, this unique piece of theatre will spell-bind lovers of both chamber music and Shakespeare, but as importantly reach out to new audiences, and be suitable for production in accessible, small settings and by small ensembles. Dramatic content is led by Helen Woods, a composer, music animateur, musical director and performer in collaboration with the Mavron Quartet creating a score to accompany Martin’s script. Audience participation is a key element in this work.
