We are excited to announce our touring production of Macbeth, supported by CAST and Cambridge in
America. As a company we have worked to foreground reproductive anxieties latent in the text,
contextualising Macbeth’s ‘fruitless crown’ in the wake of a recent and painful still-birth, which in turn
sharpens Lady Macbeth’s famous reproductive language: ‘take my milk for gall’; ‘I have given suck and know
how tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me’. The detailed medieval costume against the paired back set
places primacy on the actor rather than our ever changing stages, aiding in the flexibility of our production
and retaining the all important ‘emotional blocking’ at the core of our affective vision.
Macbeth is the 25th CAST production to travel America, following the success of last year’s Julius Caesar.
CAST aims at spreading Shakespeare far and wide, both as an educational introduction to the infamous
bard, and to stretch and stimulate new discussion amongst those already acquainted with his works, and
Macbeth specifically.
