MACBETH at Masque Theatre

Designed to appeal to both younger and more mature audiences, MACBETH is being staged by the Fabrik Theatre Company. The classic tale of a good man transformed by his weaknesses and ambition is framed using controversial but relevant parallels with modern horrors. Witchcraft, for instance, is equated with a modern equivalent of drug and substance abuse. The battle between good and evil becomes characterised by the contemporary struggle between fascism and anarchy, democracy and autocracy and punk and technology. The cast is led by Ian Gareth Hadfield playing Macbeth with Anel Skye as the manipulative Lady Macbeth. The three witches become super powers who control and manipulate the action, leading Macbeth to his demise, and are played by Olivia Hinckley, Yanga Ndzulwana and Damien Kurt Rule. Rounding out the cast are the talented Takalani Muthige and Regina Malan who play multiple roles, including Banquo and Duncan.
