In this new production, the question of fate versus free will takes centre stage. From the moment the witches deliver their prophecy, we are drawn into the unnerving tension between our destinies, our desires, and our decisions. Was Macbeth an honourable man who tragically succumbed to temptation? A cruel figure repressing his true nature and waiting only for the right excuse to act? Or was he a man who recognised the darkness inside him and loathed it... until a chorus of voices emboldened him to unleash it? It's a question that feels all too modern. Macbeth's journey shows us how easy it is to be swept up by radicalisation – how validating it feels when others echo what we feel entitled to, how quickly accountability is stripped away, and how devastating the consequences can be. His downfall is a stark reminder of the need to interrogate our own beliefs and of our power to consciously choose the kind of person we want to be.
