Macbeth
31 January – 23 March 2002
BMW Group Plant Oxford
INTRODUCTION
The stark factory environment created a near perfect setting for the dark violence of the Scottish play. Fresh interpretations enlivened this well-known Shakespearean tragedy: the weird sisters were represented as one woman with a mirrored booth, surrounded by her reflections - a sinister comment on the unified and mysterious nature of the witches' identity.
REVIEWS
"Zoe Seaton, ... offers a characteristic production, fast-moving and exciting, where the big stage effects never blur the essential edge of the piece."
THE OXFORD TIMES
"This is Shakespeare’s Macbeth in the raw – don’t miss it."
OXFORD MAIL
"An innovative production that takes risks but justifies them with moments of stunning theatre."
