Dartmouth Shakespeare Week @ Dartmouth Castle

Information

The Inn Theature Company proudly presents
Macbeth

'The Scottish Play'; don't mention the name! Next year, join The Inn Theatre Company at Dartmouth Castle and see the only Shakespeare play with a villain as the 'hero'. Probably the most oft-quoted play in the canon, 'Macbeth' is a darkly atmospheric study of temptation, guilt, remorse, retribution, crime and punishment with, at its centre, the starkly ambitious figures of Macbeth and his wife.

Historically, the play is believed to have been written between 1603 & 1606, although scholars tend to favour the latter date. The links between King James, recently ascended to the throne, and the tragedy of Macbeth are evident and it is easily noted that, not long after a Scottish King came to the English throne, a play about Scottish history appeared.

We hope that you will come with us as we attempt something more dangerously dramatic than anything we have attempted before.
Directing in 2010 will be Jane Windsor-Smith, who gave us the atmospheric production of 'The Tempest' in 2008 and, for the first time in the role of director, Gil Garland - Leonato in 2009's 'Much Ado About Nothing'

At Dartmouth Castle 3rd - 7th August 2010

Tickets will be available from Dartmouth Tourist Information Centre
