This is Macbeth, amplified. An explosive retelling of the famous story, MANBETH is a fast, furious and physical Shakespearian performance collaboration between the new Band of Creatures and Tanya Gerstle’s OpticNerve Performance Group (‘YES’,‘Five Kinds of Silence’.)

“Tanya Gerstle makes the stage sexy and dangerous.” Kate Herbert. Herald Sun, 2008.

MANBETH comprises ten exciting young actors from the nation’s best acting schools: VCA, NIDA, and WAAPA; the best new male stage talent performing as an ensemble in Shakespeare’s most turbid and bloody tragedy.

Still the original Shakespearian English, still the classic tale of murder, greed and ambition, but now told with all the gut bursting urgency, drama and flesh of a World Wrestling Royal Rumble.

NB: This performance contains partial nudity and strong adult themes. Recommended  for a mature audience.
