The vicious, barbaric undercurrent in Shakespeare’s most fear-filled tragedy erupts in this kinetic, blood-thirsty production.
Unrivalled on the battlefield, Macbeth is rewarded with rank and favour by a grateful king. But war has left scars. With each enemy Macbeth butchers to serve his own vaulting ambition, his lust for power takes a more menacing grip. Spectres slaughtered on the battlefield drip poison in his ear, and passions erupt as he ferociously seizes the throne. But, violence breeds violence, and a reign born in blood quickly spirals out of control as Macbeth's demons return to destroy him.
Set in the 11th century and culminating in an epic battle filled with revenge, justice, and beheadings, Icarus blends traditional and physical theatre and brings vividly to life some of literature’s most vibrant language and characters.

"Passion. Corruption. Revenge. Sophie Brookes’ Lady Macbeth is a guileful and carnal creature. The on-stage chemistry between Brookes and Joel Gorf is electrifying".
"Max Lewendel’s production is fast-paced and pulls the audience straight in. The three witches, beautifully eerily played by Sophie Brooke, Emma Carter und Kaiden Dubois".
"Opening with a dramatic sword fight on a darkened set with a full moon shining down on the actors, and immediately we are transported into the world of Shakespeare. Absolutely spine-tingling!".
