Macbeth
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.
This June, Hope Mill Theatre plays host to a bold, blood-soaked retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, courtesy of the all-female and non-binary company Unseemly Women. In collaboration with HER Productions and Girl Gang Manchester, this fiercely contemporary version focuses on Shakespeare’s ‘women of war’ – the witches and Lady Macbeth.
Co-directed by Hannah Ellis Ryan and Amy Gavin, we’ve been told this gothic and gritty production doesn’t hold back on the savage or the supernatural. Told through a radically inclusive lens, the production promises a fresh interrogation of the play’s universal themes of ambition, power and prophecy – all set within the intimate, atmospheric space of Hope Mill Theatre.
Expect witchcraft, warpaint and Shakespeare that resonates with 21st-century rage, reckoning and resistance.
