Richard Twyman

In a struggling and divided nation, the Macbeths see their chance to take the crown in this visceral and contemporary production of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. Captured live at the Bristol Old Vic in 2024, the English Touring Theatre’s modern production was praised for its creative use of technology, including video projection, and its unique portrayal of the Witches.

"Othello, a Moor, falls in love with Desdemona but is broken by jealousy falsely encouraged. Shakespeare's most human play sets delicacy and power, trust and jealousy, love and hate, good and evil in stark and tragic opposition. Powerless in the face of their own self destructive instincts, the characters are caught on a downward spiral towards inevitable tragedy."

Production by Roustabout Theatre.
