Title: Lady Macbeth Uncut
Presented By: VOX Productions
Genre: Drama
Synopsis: Lady Macbeth has had a bad rap down through the years—known as the 'fiend-like queen' and a byword for evil manipulation. Inspired by the real Lady Macbeth (Gruoch), Lady Macbeth (written by Catriona Clancy) seeks to redress this, telling the story from Lady Macbeth's point of view. The play sheds new light on her motivation to seize the throne and builds empathy for a powerful woman striving for control over her life. The 'Witches' get a complete reboot as well, and together they challenge the structures and prejudices that seek to hold them back.
