By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. - Macbeth, Act IV, Scene I
Prague Shakespeare Festival's production of
Macbeth
presented by:
Divadlo Miloco
The Mermaid Theatre Company
Valour, religion, nobility. Ambition, black magic, regicide. The play is a short and bloody journey from the battlefields of Scotland to the darkest depths of the Macbeths' souls. Director Guy Roberts on his production of Macbeth, says, "The play is a nightmare - Macbeth's nightmare. When Macbeth and Lady Macbeth both renounce God and their own morality and willingly embrace darkness to achieve their desires it is thrilling. The entire play is dominated by the urgency of time. So it is no accident that Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's shortest plays. The events tumble forth so quickly the audience as well as Macbeth is powerless to stop them. Macbeth tears into this play the same way he tears into enemies on the battlefield. It is a desperate, frenzied attempt to understand who exactly his enemies are and where they hide - only at his final moments does he realize the enemy is within himself."
