Macbeth (an undoing)

You've only heard half the story.

In an exhilarating epic of ambition, cunning and lust for agency, playwright Zinnie Harris reimagines Shakespeare’s tragedy from the perspective of Lady Macbeth. Macbeth has been told he will be King. Lady Macbeth tells him it will happen today.

Bojana Novakovic (Love Me) returns to the Australian stage in a powerhouse performance of Lady Macbeth that defines our time. 

Malthouse Theatre Artistic Director Matthew Lutton delivers a visually arresting spectacle as the Malthouse is ingeniously transformed into the 11^th century and the Macbeths attempt to claim the throne they believe is their destiny.
