“Blood will have blood”

Macbeth, Act 3 scene 4

Shakespeare's classic drama of ambition, power and fate, first thought to be performed in 1606, is now brought to life in a dramatic new adaptation performing the original text, set in a post-World War 3, near-future wasteland.

Performed by a professional cast of locally based actors including cast members who have recently moved to Torbay from Los Angeles, this production will come to Brixham Theatre and then Torquay Museum in the New Year. Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's best known dramas, alongside King Lear, Orthello, Hamlet, and Romeo & Juliet. It tells the tale of a Scottish war hero, who, tempted by ambition and power, and supernatural whisperings, begins a series of murders, to take and hold the throne. Returning home from war, Macbeth encounters three mysterious women, whose prophecy of kingship, sets in motion his ambition, and ultimately his fall into madness and blood.....

This production design combines the dark aftermarth of a nuclear WW3, the exotic of the supernatural, and dramatic lighting, with immersive soundscapes to create Macbeths world in a new vision of the drama. Months of intensive rehearsal and preparation are taking place to prepare the show, to be performed in January and February 2019

Exactly what I was looking for! It is so interesting article as it focuses on the play's themes of power and ambition. As I analyze the Power in Macbeth for my college paper with the help of https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/an-analysis-of-power-in-macb... I can see how the dynamic of main heroes who are struggling for power. Hope that will be fine as I use your article as a potential reference for my own analysis of the play's themes.
