From 28 – 30 June, the UK’s most acclaimed open-air theatre company - The Lord Chamberlain’s Men return to Leeds Castle with their all male production of Shakespeare’s devastating and gripping thriller ‘Macbeth’.
Bring a picnic and enjoy this open air production performed in the
stunning grounds of the castle.…but beware of witches and traitors!
Macbeth’s
ghostly apparitions and action-packed sword fights are sure to get the heart
racing. This dark tragedy will be performed on
the Pavilion Lawn with the atmospheric backdrop of the 900 year old castle.
See Shakespeare’s play performed to the
very highest standard at “the loveliest castle in the world” and in the way the
Bard first envisioned - with an all-male cast, traditional costume and
Elizabethan song and dance.
Mark Puddle, Founder and Creative Director
of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men said:
“Macbeth has everything; a tragic love story, a lust for power and a
drunken porter as well as fights, ghosts and plenty of blood! Macbeth has
always been considered one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. The contrast of
a beautiful summer’s evening and Macbeth’s tragic tale is a perfect fit for the
famous castles and stately homes that we visit.”
