It is well known in theatrical circles that the name of the "Scottish Play" must never be uttered on a stage. Shakespeare's masterful highland drama of war, assassination, sex and intrigue is one of his most famous plays and is rooted in a world of ancient mysticism, malevolent magic and witchcraft whose primeval forces tear the world of feudal Scotland apart. At the heart of this compelling, dangerous and chilling drama are a series of incredibly well-wrought relationships, between a man and a woman , his best friend, father-figure, non-existent son and heir and those who might usurp his newly won power. Aquila's new production of Macbeth emphasizes these relationships in a tightly wrought production that has audiences on the edges of their seats. We set out to understand Macbeth's descent into murder, madness and deprivation and the the returning warrior comes home to a world of death and destruction.
