Petersfield Shakespeare Festival - MACBETH at Wylds Farm

About

PSF's exciting new interpretation of Shakespeare's epic tale of ambition, full of action and adventure performed on a grand scale in the great outdoors:

In a near-future Britain after civil war, the leaders haven't fallen, they've gone underground. Hidden deep in the countryside, stripped of technology, media and public scrutiny, power is no longer wielded remotely but seized by force. In this raw, outdoor reimagining of MACBETH, ambition thrives in isolation, violence replaces policy, and myth becomes currency. As civilisation collapses, do we change or do we reveal who we've always been?

Before the show begins at 7.30pm or 2pm if a matinee, there is plenty of time to indulge in the festival vibe. Doors open early for picnics, live music, street food and a well-stocked bar, all in the buzzing atmosphere of the beautiful Wylds Farm courtyard. In addition to the main shows there will be Q & A sessions with the cast and creatives and a lecture on MACBETH from renowned Shakespeare expert Charlotte Moore.
