Macbeth
Schauspielhaus Bochum
Directed by
Johan Simons
By
William Shakespeare
Scotland, a long time ago. The war is over. Macbeth and his friend Banquo return from the battlefield. They have won. The name Macbeth echoes from everywhere, the air buzzes with stories of how easy it was for him to slaughter. Macbeth, the hero, has a great future ahead of himself. Witches predict kingship for him. What is needed for this are actions bathed in blood. Encouraged by his wife, he murders his way to absolute power: first the king, then his best friends, then their families including their children. The joy of absolute power, however, is missing. Macbeth and his lady are consumed.
An intense and fascinating revisiting of a fundamental piece of the universal canon.
