About the Show
19th April, 7:30pm - rise @ Bluebird Bakery, Acomb £10 Standard £10 Pass It On! (purchase a ticket for someone who otherwise would be unable to attend this event) £5 Concession (eligible for those who are under 18, students, disabled, a carer, or registered unemployed) Presented by award winning theatre company The Shakespeare Edit This thrilling monodrama has played to sold out venues in Italy, Latvia, London, and at United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC where the production won the award for Best International Show. Performed by Artistic Director Paul Goodwin, and created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Dmitriy Saratsky, this 50 minute dramatic monologue is storytelling at its best; with psychological depth, superb verse speaking, dynamic physicality and a brilliant soundscape bringing Shakespeare's tale of ambition, murder, and madness fully alive for contemporary audiences. "Paul Goodwin's astonishing performance condenses and crystallises the tragedy of Macbeth into a non-stop stream of consciousness roller coaster...utterly compelling." - LondonTheatre1
