Act 1, Scene 5
It begins in Wagga.
Before it travels the country, Bell Shakespeare's thrilling new production of Macbeth makes its national premiere at the Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre. That's right—opening night is ours, meaning you'll be among the very first audiences anywhere in Australia to experience this bold production. Whether you're a lifelong Shakespeare fan or simply love gripping theatre, this is your chance to witness one of the Bard's most electrifying tragedies before anyone else.
The crown awaits... if you dare.
Following a bloody battle, Macbeth and his comrade Banquo are met by three Weird Sisters who prophesy Macbeth will one day be king.
Unable to shake the thought, Macbeth tells his wife, Lady Macbeth. Driven by an insatiable hunger for power, posterity and certainty, they commit a murder and set in motion the inevitable unravelling of their sanity. With blood on their hands, they face the dire consequences of their despicable actions.
A terrifying portrayal of moral collapse, Peter Evans’ Macbeth, with Anthony Taufa in the title role, will take you on an intense journey into the dark heart of humanity.
By William Shakespeare
Director Peter Evans
Designed by Anna Tregloan
Sound and Composition by Max Lyandvert
With Anthony Taufa and Matilda Ridgway
