Macbeth

Double, double, toil and trouble. Double ambition, double manipulation, toil for revenge, trouble from sinister supernatural forces.

  • Booking essential

What was the motivation of the witches? Why did the King of Scotland fall into such depravity? Was his Queen the real driving force? Who or what was in charge...really responsible...for the despciable events in 11th century Scotland? In arguably the most exciting of all of the Bard's plays, certainly the most revered, all the themes of Shakespeare's dark vision of the rise and fall of King Macbeth of Scotland will be brought to life for you on Brownsea Island in 2024. Head to the Brownsea Open Air Theatre's webpage for more information and to book.
